hadoop Writeable class conversions

[Sandy <sn...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

Just a quick question. Suppose I have a value y that is of type
LongWritable. How can I convert it to a long? I tried casting, and I also
looked at the LongWritable class and did not see a definition for a suitable
conversion function. I also was not able to find a solution through the
forum archives. Could someone please point me in the right direction?

Much thanks.

... WOW. I can't believe I missed that! Thanks. I think I've been staring at
my code for too long.
