  extended by org.apache.hadoop.io.ArrayWritable
All Implemented Interfaces:
Writable

@InterfaceAudience.Public
@InterfaceStability.Stable
public class ArrayWritable
extends Object
implements Writable

A Writable for arrays containing instances of a class. The elements of this writable must all be instances of the same class. If this writable will be the input for a Reducer, you will need to create a subclass that sets the value to be of the proper type. For example: public class IntArrayWritable extends ArrayWritable { public IntArrayWritable() { super(IntWritable.class); } }

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

write

public void write(DataOutput out)
           throws IOException
Description copied from interface: Writable
Serialize the fields of this object to out.

Specified by:
write in interface Writable
Parameters:
out - DataOuput to serialize this object into.
