I have no objections in general, but there are doubts around several
places. Please, look below.

WBR, Alexander Turenko.

What make me doubt: key_def is not comparable per se, it may or may not
be used for comparison of tuples and a tuple with a key.
'key_def_has_comparator' or 'key_def_can_compare' (however not key_def
itself perform comparisons, hmm), maybe, don't know.

Ilya gives the idea: perform this check on key_def creation and store a
flag inside key_def. Check against the flag in lbox_key_def_compare()
and lbox_key_def_compare_with_key().

This looks as the right way to solve this kind of problems: comparisons
are more hot functions than key_def creation.

We can sink it down to key_def_set_compare_func() and set NULL to
key_def->{tuple_compare,tuple_compare_with_key}. Than check it in
lbox_key_def_compare*() and add asserts to tuple_compare*(). No new
fields will be required so.

This part surely should look someone, who is more near to comparators
than me.

How about lbox_key_def_merge() and underlying functions? I'm not sure
they will work correct. At least I tried this on the branch:

 | tarantool> key_def = require('key_def')
 | tarantool> kd1 = key_def.new({{fieldno = 1, type = 'array'}})
 | tarantool> kd2 = key_def.new({{fieldno = 1, type = 'map'}})
 | tarantool> kd1:merge(kd2)
 | ---
 | - - type: array
 |     is_nullable: false
 |     fieldno: 1
 | ...

It does not look correct.

Everything looks good with lbox_key_def_to_table(), but I would add a
test anyway.
