  - getObjectInput
```
ObjectInput getObjectInput(DataInput in,
                           ClassLoader loader,

                    throws IOException
```
    Obtain an ObjectInput based on the passed DataInput.
    
    Parameters:
    
    in - the DataInput to be wrapped
    
    loader - the ClassLoader to be used
    
    fForceNew - if true, a new ObjectInput must be returned; otherwise, if the passed stream is already an ObjectInput, it's allowed to be returned instead

  - getObjectOutput
```
ObjectOutput getObjectOutput(DataOutput out)
                      throws IOException
