Hi, I read in Definitive guide that, LongWritable and xxWritables are more optimized versions for network serialization of normal Java Long etc..
If that is so, would be not be easy for developers to use normal Java long and string, so hadoop framework can internally convert the developer written code to use the longwritable etc or through some intermediate code conversions. This approach can greatly reduce the no of api and helps in faster learning. Not sure, why developer had to write and use XXXWritable etc in the context of optimized for network serialization Regards, Raja Nagendra Kumar, C.T.O www.tejasoft.com -Hadoop Adoption Consulting -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/XXXWritable-tp31977841p31977841.html Sent from the Hadoop core-dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
