Andrew Ash commented on HADOOP-6842: ------------------------------------ Looks like nothing ever came of this? I'd appreciate a nicer toString() on MapWritable too > "hadoop fs -text" does not give a useful text representation of MapWritable > objects > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-6842 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6842 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.20.0 > Reporter: Steven Wong > > If a sequence file contains MapWritable objects, running "hadoop fs -text" on > the file prints the following for each MapWritable: > org.apache.hadoop.io.MapWritable@4f8235ed > To be more useful, it should print out the contents of the map instead. This > can be done by adding a toString method to MapWritable, i.e. something like: > public String toString() { > return (new TreeMap<Writable, Writable>(instance)).toString(); > } -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
