Hi There! I'm currently working on code for my own Writable object (called ServiceWritable) and I've been working off LongWritable for this one. I was wondering, however, about the following two functions:
public void readFields(java.io.DataInput in) and public void write(java.io.DataOutput out) I have my own RecordReader object to read in the complex type Service, and I also have my own Writer object to write my complex type ResultSet for output. In LongWritable, the code is very simple: value = in.readLong() and out.writeLong(value); Since I am dealing with more complex objects, the ObjectWritable won't help me. I'm a little confused with the interaction here between my RecordReader, and Writer objects--because there does not seem to be any directly. Can someone help me out here? Thanks, Kylie
