## org.apache.hadoop.io
Class ObjectWritable

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.hadoop.io.ObjectWritable

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Configurable, Writable

    public class ObjectWritable

extends Object
implements Writable, Configurable

A polymorphic Writable that writes an instance with it's class name. Handles arrays, strings and primitive types without a Writable wrapper.

Constructor Summary
`ObjectWritable()`
`ObjectWritable(Class declaredClass, Object instance)`
`ObjectWritable(Object instance)`

Method Summary
`Object` | `get()` Return the instance, or null if none.
`Configuration` | `getConf()` Return the configuration used by this object.
`Class` | `getDeclaredClass()` Return the class this is meant to be.
`void` | `readFields(DataInput in)` Deserialize the fields of this object from `in`.
`static Object` | `readObject(DataInput in, Configuration conf)` Read a `Writable`, `String`, primitive type, or an array of the preceding.
`static Object` | `readObject(DataInput in, ObjectWritable objectWritable, Configuration conf)` Read a `Writable`, `String`, primitive type, or an array of the preceding.
`void` | `set(Object instance)` Reset the instance.
`void` | `setConf(Configuration conf)` Set the configuration to be used by this object.
`String` | `toString()`
`void` | `write(DataOutput out)` Serialize the fields of this object to `out`.
`static void` | `writeObject(DataOutput out, Object instance, Class declaredClass, Configuration conf)` Write a `Writable`, `String`, primitive type, or an array of the preceding.
