+1: It seems to me that there is no way to do t.getClass() for generic t 
without a unchecked warning.  i.e.
{code}
T t = ...;
Class<XXX> c = t.getClass(); //there will be a unchecked warning, no matter XXX 
is (or it does not compile).
{code}

I have the following suggestions:
- Only add @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") right before the required statements 
but not before the entire method.

- Create a static getClass(T) as following:
{code}
static public <T> Class<T> getClass(T t) {
    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    Class<T> clazz = (Class<T>)t.getClass();
    return clazz;
}
{code}
Use getClass(t) instead of t.getClass().  Then, I guess we only need to add one 
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked") tag.

> Storing arbitrary objects in the configuration has been discussed before in 
> HADOOP-449 and HADOOP-1873. Although enabling such functionality has the risk 
> of encouraging people to put big binary objects in the configuration, for 
> some use cases passing objects to tasks is absolutely necessary. 
> This issue will track the implementation of a Stringifier interface which 
> stringifies and destringifies objects. Using this implementation, developers 
> can store objects in the configuration and restore them later. 
> Any thoughts ?
