由于Hadoop的MapReduce和HDFS都有通信的需求,需要对通信的对象进行序列化。Hadoop并没有采用Java的序列化,而是引入了它自己的系统。 org.apache.hadoop.io中定义了大量的可序列化对象,他们都实现了Writable接口。
package org.apache.hadoop.io;
import java.io.DataOutput;
import java.io.DataInput;
import java.io.IOException;
import org.apache.hadoop.classification.InterfaceAudience;
import org.apache.hadoop.classification.InterfaceStability;
@InterfaceAudience.Public
@InterfaceStability.Stable
public interface Writable {
/**
* Serialize the fields of this object to <code>out</code>.
*
*/
void write(DataOutput out) throws IOException;
/**
* Deserialize the fields of this object from <code>in</code>.
*
*/
void readFields(DataInput in) throws IOException;
}
实现了Writable接口的一个典型例子如下,该代码实际上是在Writable接口源码的注释中。
public class MyWritable implements Writable {
// Some data
private int counter;
private long timestamp;
public void write(DataOutput out) throws IOException {
out.writeInt(counter);
out.writeLong(timestamp);
}
public void readFields(DataInput in) throws IOException {
counter = in.readInt();
timestamp = in.readLong();
}
public static MyWritable read(DataInput in) throws IOException {
MyWritable w = new MyWritable();
w.readFields(in);
return w;
}
}
WritableComparable是Writable接口和java.lang.Comparable的一个子接口。
package org.apache.hadoop.io;
import org.apache.hadoop.classification.InterfaceAudience;
import org.apache.hadoop.classification.InterfaceStability;
@InterfaceAudience.Public
@InterfaceStability.Stable
public interface WritableComparable<T> extends Writable, Comparable<T> {
}
public class MyWritableComparable implements WritableComparable<MyWritableComparable> {
// Some data
private int counter;
private long timestamp;
public void write(DataOutput out) throws IOException {
out.writeInt(counter);
out.writeLong(timestamp);
}
public void readFields(DataInput in) throws IOException {
counter = in.readInt();
timestamp = in.readLong();
}
public int compareTo(MyWritableComparable o) {
int thisValue = this.value;
int thatValue = o.value;
return (thisValue < thatValue ? -1 : (thisValue==thatValue ? 0 : 1));
}
public int hashCode() {
final int prime = 31;
int result = 1;
result = prime * result + counter;
result = prime * result + (int) (timestamp ^ (timestamp >>> 32));
return result
}
}
IntWritable实现了WritableComparable。
package org.apache.hadoop.io;

import java.io.DataOutput;
import java.io.IOException;
import org.apache.hadoop.classification.InterfaceAudience;
import org.apache.hadoop.classification.InterfaceStability;
@InterfaceAudience.Public
@InterfaceStability.Stable
public class IntWritable implements WritableComparable<IntWritable> {
private int value;
public IntWritable() {}
public IntWritable(int value) { set(value); }
/** Set the value of this IntWritable. */
public void set(int value) { this.value = value; }
/** Return the value of this IntWritable. */
public int get() { return value; }
@Override
public void readFields(DataInput in) throws IOException {
value = in.readInt();
}
@Override
public void write(DataOutput out) throws IOException {
out.writeInt(value);
}
/** Returns true iff <code>o</code> is a IntWritable with the same value. */
@Override
public boolean equals(Object o) {
if (!(o instanceof IntWritable))
return false;
IntWritable other = (IntWritable)o;
return this.value == other.value;
}
@Override
public int hashCode() {
return value;
}
/** Compares two IntWritables. */
@Override
public int compareTo(IntWritable o) {
int thisValue = this.value;
int thatValue = o.value;
return (thisValue<thatValue ? -1 : (thisValue==thatValue ? 0 : 1));
}
@Override
public String toString() {
return Integer.toString(value);
}
/** A Comparator optimized for IntWritable. */
public static class Comparator extends WritableComparator {
public Comparator() {
super(IntWritable.class);
}
@Override
public int compare(byte[] b1, int s1, int l1,
byte[] b2, int s2, int l2) {
int thisValue = readInt(b1, s1);
int thatValue = readInt(b2, s2);
return (thisValue<thatValue ? -1 : (thisValue==thatValue ? 0 : 1));
}
}
static { // register this comparator
WritableComparator.define(IntWritable.class, new Comparator());
}
}
