--------------------------------------
Summary: IDF API read/ write method
Key: SQOOP-1900
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-1900
Project: Sqoop
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: Veena Basavaraj
At this point I am not clear what the real use of the following 2 methods are
in the IDF API. Can anyone explain? I have not seen it used anywhere in the
code I might be missing something
{code}
/**
* Serialize the fields of this object to <code>out</code>.
*
* @param out <code>DataOuput</code> to serialize this object into.
* @throws IOException
*/
public abstract void write(DataOutput out) throws IOException;
/**
* Deserialize the fields of this object from <code>in</code>.
*
* <p>For efficiency, implementations should attempt to re-use storage in the
* existing object where possible.</p>
*
* @param in <code>DataInput</code> to deseriablize this object from.
* @throws IOException
*/
public abstract void read(DataInput in) throws IOException;
{code}
