> When you have a key/value class that's non Writable and you forget to attach
> io.serializers for the same, an NPE is thrown by the tasks with no
> information on why or what's missing and what led to it. I think a better
> exception can be thrown by SerializationFactory instead of an NPE when a
> class is not found accepted by any of the loaded ones.
