// ================================================================================================
//                                 !!! NOTICE !!!
// 
//  This interface has been directly copied from the Apache Hadoop project.
//  It has been added to this project to allow compiling against the type "Writable"
//  without adding the heavyweight Hadoop dependency. This keeps the project dependencies 
//  lightweight.
//
//  At runtime, the JVM will load either this interface, or the interface from a Hadoop jar,
//  if present. In both cases, the dynamic class loading, linking, and method lookup will
//  allow the types to interoperate as long as package name, class name, and method signature
//  of this interface are kept strictly in sync with the version packaged with Hadoop.
//
//  This is a core interface of the Hadoop project and has been stable across all releases.

 * A serializable object which implements a simple, efficient, serialization

 *
 * <p>Any <code>key</code> or <code>value</code> type in the Hadoop Map-Reduce
 * framework implements this interface.</p>
 * 
 * <p>Implementations typically implement a static <code>read(DataInput)</code>
 * method which constructs a new instance, calls {@link #readFields(DataInput)} 
 * and returns the instance.</p>

 * <p><blockquote><pre>
 *     public class MyWritable implements Writable {
 *       // Some data
 *       private int counter;
 *       private long timestamp;
 *
 *       // Default constructor to allow (de)serialization
 *       MyWritable() { }
 *
 *       public void write(DataOutput out) throws IOException {

 *         out.writeLong(timestamp);
 *       }
 *
 *       public void readFields(DataInput in) throws IOException {
 *         counter = in.readInt();
 *         timestamp = in.readLong();
