getBytes

public static byte[] getBytes(Writable w)
                       throws java.io.IOException

Parameters:

w - writable

Returns:

The bytes of w gotten by running its Writable#write(java.io.DataOutput) method.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - e

getWritable(byte[], Writable)

getBytes

public static byte[] getBytes(Writable... ws)
                       throws java.io.IOException

Put a bunch of Writables as bytes all into the one byte array.

Parameters:

ws - writable

Returns:

The bytes of w gotten by running its Writable#write(java.io.DataOutput) method.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - e

getWritable

public static Writable getWritable(byte[] bytes,
                                   Writable w)
                            throws java.io.IOException

Set bytes into the passed Writable by calling its Writable#readFields(java.io.DataInput).

Parameters:

bytes - serialized bytes

w - An empty Writable (usually made by calling the null-arg constructor).

Returns:

The passed Writable after its readFields has been called fed by the passed bytes array or IllegalArgumentException if passed null or an empty bytes array.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - e

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

getWritable

public static Writable getWritable(byte[] bytes,
                                   int offset,
                                   int length,
                                   Writable w)
                            throws java.io.IOException

Set bytes into the passed Writable by calling its Writable#readFields(java.io.DataInput).

Parameters:

bytes - serialized bytes

offset - offset into array

length - length of data

w - An empty Writable (usually made by calling the null-arg constructor).

Returns:

The passed Writable after its readFields has been called fed by the passed bytes array or IllegalArgumentException if passed null or an empty bytes array.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - e

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
