Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-8619:
----------------------------------------
Before committing this, I'm going to add one more bit of homework:
add a test that serializes then deserializes something of the std. writables.
Why? Your goal is to ser/deser things -the ctor is just a means to that end.
Add a test of the desired behaviour and you can be confident that it doesn't
break in future.
> WritableComparator must implement no-arg constructor

> Because of reasons listed here:
> http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/bugDescriptions.html#SE_COMPARATOR_SHOULD_BE_SERIALIZABLE
> comparators should be serializable. To make deserialization work, it is
> required that all superclasses have no-arg constructor.
> http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/bugDescriptions.html#SE_NO_SUITABLE_CONSTRUCTOR
> Simply add no=arg constructor to WritableComparator.
