Class MetaWrapper

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.hadoop.io.ObjectWritable
      org.apache.nutch.metadata.MetaWrapper

All Implemented Interfaces:

Configurable, Writable

public class MetaWrapper
extends ObjectWritable

This is a simple decorator that adds metadata to any Object-s that can be serialized by ObjectWritable. This is useful when data needs to be temporarily enriched during processing, but this temporary metadata doesn't need to be permanently stored after the job is done.
