Akira AJISAKA commented on HADOOP-12465:
----------------------------------------
Moved to common project since the change is in hadoop-common-project module.
> Incorrect javadoc in WritableUtils.java
> ---------------------------------------

> Key: HADOOP-12465
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12465
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: documentation
> Affects Versions: 2.7.1
> Reporter: Martin Petricek
> Assignee: Jagadesh Kiran N
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: MAPREDUCE-6496-00.patch, MAPREDUCE-6496-01.patch

> Documentation for writeVLong in WritableUtils states that "For
> -112 <= i <= 127, only one byte is used"
> Documentation for writeVInt states that "For -120 <= i <= 127, only one byte
> is used"
> writeVInt calls internally writeVLong, so the ranges are the same for both
> functions.
> After examining the code, I see that the documentation that is at writeVLong
> is correct.
> Documentation for writeVInt is therefore incorrect and should be fixed.
