clone

public static <T extends Writable> T clone(T orig,

Make a copy of a writable object using serialization to a buffer.

Type Parameters:

T - Generics Type T.

Parameters:

orig - The object to copy

conf - input Configuration.

Returns:

The copied object

cloneInto

@Deprecated
public static void cloneInto(Writable dst,
 Writable src)
                      throws IOException

Deprecated.

use ReflectionUtils.cloneInto instead.

Make a copy of the writable object using serialization to a buffer.

Parameters:

dst - the object to copy from

src - the object to copy into, which is destroyed

Throws:

IOException - raised on errors performing I/O.

writeVInt

public static void writeVInt(DataOutput stream,
 int i)
                      throws IOException

Serializes an integer to a binary stream with zero-compressed encoding. For -112 <= i <= 127, only one byte is used with the actual value. For other values of i, the first byte value indicates whether the integer is positive or negative, and the number of bytes that follow. If the first byte value v is between -113 and -116, the following integer is positive, with number of bytes that follow are -(v+112). If the first byte value v is between -121 and -124, the following integer is negative, with number of bytes that follow are -(v+120). Bytes are stored in the high-non-zero-byte-first order.

Parameters:

stream - Binary output stream

i - Integer to be serialized

Throws:

IOException - raised on errors performing I/O.

writeVLong

public static void writeVLong(DataOutput stream,
 long i)
                       throws IOException

Serializes a long to a binary stream with zero-compressed encoding. For -112 <= i <= 127, only one byte is used with the actual value. For other values of i, the first byte value indicates whether the long is positive or negative, and the number of bytes that follow. If the first byte value v is between -113 and -120, the following long is positive, with number of bytes that follow are -(v+112). If the first byte value v is between -121 and -128, the following long is negative, with number of bytes that follow are -(v+120). Bytes are stored in the high-non-zero-byte-first order.
