stack commented on HADOOP-414: ------------------------------ On adding a base abstract ImplicitVersionedWritable, I can see how injection of application version can be done easily for application-specific Comparables -- as is done above for the DFS-specific DatanodeID class -- but I'm wondering how would the version be injected when an application uses generic Comparables such as BytesWritable? Would an application have to pass its version on every instance creation? E.g. 'new BytesWritable(byte [] b, int version)'? > replace class UTF8 with class Text > ---------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-414 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-414 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: io > Affects Versions: 0.5.0 > Reporter: Hairong Kuang > Assignee: Owen O'Malley > Attachments: utf2text.patch > > > Since class UTF8 is deprecated, all references of UTF8 in hadoop should be > replaced with class Text if the change does not break the system. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
