tl.lin.data.map
Class HashMapWritable<K extends org.apache.hadoop.io.Writable,V extends org.apache.hadoop.io.Writable>

java.lang.Object
  java.util.AbstractMap<K,V>
      java.util.HashMap<K,V>
          tl.lin.data.map.HashMapWritable<K,V>

Type Parameters:

K - type of the key

V - type of the value

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, Map<K,V>, org.apache.hadoop.io.Writable

public class HashMapWritable<K extends org.apache.hadoop.io.Writable,V extends org.apache.hadoop.io.Writable>
extends HashMap<K,V>
implements org.apache.hadoop.io.Writable

Writable extension of a Java HashMap. This generic class supports the use of any type as either key or value. For a feature vector, HMapKIW, HMapKFW, and a family of related classes provides a more efficient implementation.

There are a number of key differences between this class and Hadoop's MapWritable:

• MapWritable is more flexible in that it supports heterogeneous elements. In this class, all keys must be of the same type and all values must be of the same type. This assumption allows a simpler serialization protocol and thus is more efficient. Run main in this class for a simple efficiency test.
