Class AbstractMapWritable

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.hadoop.io.AbstractMapWritable

All Implemented Interfaces:

Configurable, Writable

Direct Known Subclasses:

MapWritable, SortedMapWritable

public abstract class AbstractMapWritable
extends Object
implements Writable, Configurable

Abstract base class for MapWritable and SortedMapWritable Unlike org.apache.nutch.crawl.MapWritable, this class allows creation of MapWritable<Writable, MapWritable> so the CLASS_TO_ID and ID_TO_CLASS maps travel with the class instead of being static. Class ids range from 1 to 127 so there can be at most 127 distinct classes in any specific map instance.

Constructor Summary

protected

AbstractMapWritable() constructor.

Method Summary

protected void	addToMap(Class clazz) Add a Class to the maps if it is not already present.

constructor.

Method Detail

addToMap

protected void addToMap(Class clazz)

Add a Class to the maps if it is not already present.

getClass

protected Class getClass(byte id)

Returns:

the Class class for the specified id

getId

protected byte getId(Class clazz)

Returns:

the id for the specified Class

copy

protected void copy(Writable other)

Used by child copy constructors.

getConf

public Configuration getConf()

Description copied from interface: Configurable

Return the configuration used by this object.

Specified by:

getConf in interface Configurable

Returns:

the conf

setConf

public void setConf(Configuration conf)

Description copied from interface: Configurable

Set the configuration to be used by this object.

Specified by:

setConf in interface Configurable

Parameters:

conf - the conf to set

write

public void write(DataOutput out)
           throws IOException

Serialize the fields of this object to out.

Specified by:

write in interface Writable

Parameters:

out - DataOuput to serialize this object into.

Throws:

IOException

readFields

public void readFields(DataInput in)
                throws IOException

Deserialize the fields of this object from in.

For efficiency, implementations should attempt to re-use storage in the existing object where possible.

Specified by:

readFields in interface Writable

Parameters:

in - DataInput to deseriablize this object from.

Throws:

IOException
