All Implemented Interfaces:
  Comparable<ID>, Writable, WritableComparable<ID>

Direct Known Subclasses:
  ID

    public abstract class ID

extends Object
implements WritableComparable<ID>

A general identifier, which internally stores the id as an integer. This is the super class of `JobID`, `TaskID` and `TaskAttemptID`.

See Also:
  `JobID`, `TaskID`, `TaskAttemptID`

Field Summary
`protected int` `id`
`protected static char` `SEPARATOR`

Constructor Summary
`protected` `ID()`
`` `ID(int id)` constructs an ID object from the given int

Method Summary
`int` `compareTo(ID that)` Compare IDs by associated numbers
`boolean` `equals(Object o)`
`int` `getId()` returns the int which represents the identifier
`int` `hashCode()`
`void` `readFields(DataInput in)` Deserialize the fields of this object from `in`.
`String` `toString()`
`void` `write(DataOutput out)` Serialize the fields of this object to `out`.

Constructor Detail

### ID

    public ID(int id)

  constructs an ID object from the given int

### ID

    protected ID()

Method Detail

### getId

    public int getId()

  returns the int which represents the identifier

### toString

    public String toString()

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `Object`

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  Overrides:
    `hashCode` in class `Object`

### equals

    public boolean equals(Object o)

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `Object`

### compareTo

    public int compareTo(ID that)

  Compare IDs by associated numbers

  Specified by:
    `compareTo` in interface `Comparable<ID>`

### readFields

    public void readFields(DataInput in)
                    throws IOException

  Description copied from interface: `Writable`
  Deserialize the fields of this object from `in`.

  For efficiency, implementations should attempt to re-use storage in the existing object where possible.

  Specified by:
    `readFields` in interface `Writable`
  Parameters:
    `in` - `DataInput` to deseriablize this object from.
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### write

    public void write(DataOutput out)
               throws IOException

  Description copied from interface: `Writable`
  Serialize the fields of this object to `out`.

  Specified by:
    `write` in interface `Writable`
  Parameters:
    `out` - `DataOuput` to serialize this object into.
  Throws:
    `IOException`
