Jagadesh Kiran N reassigned MAPREDUCE-6496:
-------------------------------------------

    Assignee: Jagadesh Kiran N

> Incorrect javadoc in WritableUtils.java
> ---------------------------------------
>
>                 Key: MAPREDUCE-6496
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-6496
>             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.7.1
>            Reporter: Martin Petricek
>            Assignee: Jagadesh Kiran N
>            Priority: Minor
>
> Documentation for writeVLong in WritableUtils states that "For
>  -112 <= i <= 127, only one byte is used"
> Documentation for writeVInt states that "For -120 <= i <= 127, only one byte is used"
> writeVInt calls internally writeVLong, so the ranges are the same for both functions. 
> After examining the code, I see that the documentation that is at writeVLong is correct.
> Documentation for writeVInt is therefore incorrect and should be fixed.
