[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-6842) "hadoop fs -text" does not give a useful text representation of MapWritable objects

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6842?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13626986#comment-13626986 ] 

Andrew Ash commented on HADOOP-6842:
------------------------------------

Looks like nothing ever came of this?  I'd appreciate a nicer toString() on MapWritable too

>             Project: Hadoop Common
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 0.20.0
>            Reporter: Steven Wong
>
> If a sequence file contains MapWritable objects, running "hadoop fs -text" on the file prints the following for each MapWritable:
> org.apache.hadoop.io.MapWritable@4f8235ed
> To be more useful, it should print out the contents of the map instead. This can be done by adding a toString method to MapWritable, i.e. something like:
> public String toString() {
>     return (new TreeMap<Writable, Writable>(instance)).toString();
> }
