Todd Lipcon created HADOOP-10855: ------------------------------------ Summary: Allow Text to be read with a known length Key: HADOOP-10855 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10855 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Improvement Components: io Affects Versions: 2.6.0 Reporter: Todd Lipcon Assignee: Todd Lipcon Priority: Minor
For the native task work (MAPREDUCE-2841) it is useful to be able to store strings in a different fashion than the default (varint-prefixed) serialization. We should provide a "read" method in Text which takes an already-known length to support this use case while still providing Text objects back to the user. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
