org.apache.nutch.metadata

## Class MetaWrapper

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.hadoop.io.GenericWritable
  - - org.apache.nutch.util.GenericWritableConfigurable
    - - org.apache.nutch.crawl.NutchWritable
      - - org.apache.nutch.metadata.MetaWrapper

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Configurable, Writable

      public class MetaWrapper
      extends NutchWritable

  This is a simple decorator that adds metadata to any Writable-s that can be serialized by `NutchWritable`. 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.
