Class AvroDeserializer<T extends AvroWrapper<D>,D>

java.lang.Object

org.apache.avro.hadoop.io.AvroDeserializer<T,D>

Type Parameters:

T - The type of Avro wrapper.

D - The Java type of the Avro data being wrapped.

All Implemented Interfaces:

Deserializer<T>

Direct Known Subclasses:

AvroKeyDeserializer, AvroValueDeserializer

public abstract class AvroDeserializer<T extends AvroWrapper<D>,D>
extends Object
implements Deserializer<T>

Deserializes AvroWrapper objects within Hadoop.

Keys and values containing Avro tyeps are more efficiently serialized outside of the WritableSerialization model, so they are wrapper in AvroWrapper objects and deserialization is handled by this class.

MapReduce jobs that use AvroWrapper objects as keys or values need to be configured with org.apache.avro.io.AvroSerialization. Use AvroJob to help with Job configuration.
