Konstantin Shvachko commented on HADOOP-1549:
---------------------------------------------

I agree we should not use SuppressWarnings, we should define serialVersionUID 
instead but in a different issue.
A more serious problem here is that the patch will change the format of the 
image, and the consequences are not clear.
I mean that we need to know what are the changes in the image/edits file sizes, 
and the name-node startup time.
So I recommend just to remove UTF8 for everything but the storage classes, like 
Storage, FSImage, FSEditLog, DataStorage.

> All remaining UTF8 data structures in HDFS code should be removed

> The UTF8 data structure is deprecated. HADOOP-1283 addressed part of the 
> problem. All remaining UTF8 data structurs in HDFS should be removed.
