- * A {@link Writable} which is also {@link Comparable}.
- *
- * <p><code>WritableComparable</code>s can be compared to each other, typically
- * via <code>Comparator</code>s. Any type which is to be used as a
- * <code>key</code> in the Hadoop Map-Reduce framework should implement this
- * interface.</p>
- *
- * <p>Example:</p>
- * <p><blockquote><pre>
- * public class MyWritableComparable implements WritableComparable {
- * // 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 w) {
- * int thisValue = this.value;
- * int thatValue = ((IntWritable)o).value;
- * return (thisValue < thatValue ? -1 : (thisValue==thatValue ? 0 : 1));
- * }
- * }
- * </pre></blockquote></p>
