public interface Serializer

HiveSerializer is used to serialize data to a Hadoop Writable object. The serialize In addition to the interface below, all implementations are assume to have a ctor that takes a single 'Table' object as argument. All serializers should extend the abstract class AbstractSerializer, and eventually Serializer interface should be removed

Method Summary

SerDeStats	getSerDeStats() Deprecated. Returns statistics collected when serializing
Class<? extends Writable>	getSerializedClass() Deprecated. Returns the Writable class that would be returned by the serialize method.
void	initialize(Configuration conf, Properties tbl) Deprecated. Initialize the HiveSerializer.
Writable	serialize(Object obj, ObjectInspector objInspector) Deprecated. Serialize an object by navigating inside the Object with the ObjectInspector.

Method Detail

initialize

void initialize(Configuration conf,
                Properties tbl)
                throws SerDeException

Deprecated.

Initialize the HiveSerializer.

Parameters:

conf - System properties

tbl - table properties

Throws:

SerDeException

getSerializedClass

Class<? extends Writable> getSerializedClass()

Deprecated.

Returns the Writable class that would be returned by the serialize method. This is used to initialize SequenceFile header.

serialize

Writable serialize(Object obj,
                   ObjectInspector objInspector)
                   throws SerDeException

Deprecated.

Serialize an object by navigating inside the Object with the ObjectInspector. In most cases, the return value of this function will be constant since the function will reuse the Writable object. If the client wants to keep a copy of the Writable, the client needs to clone the returned value.

Throws:

SerDeException

getSerDeStats

SerDeStats getSerDeStats()

Deprecated.

Returns statistics collected when serializing
