-----------------------------------------------------------------

Tom, makes sense - thanks for weighing in!

The minor jarring note is that a simple app which writes a SequenceFile with 
Java Serialization won't be able to read it back... 
On the bright side most Map-Reduce applications are *ok* since 
SequenceFile{Input|Output}Format doesn't support non-Writables yet.

> Currently SequenceFile.Reader only works with Writables, since it doesn't use 
> the new Serialization framework. This is a glaring considering that 
> SequenceFile.Writer uses the Serializer and handles arbitrary types via the 
> SerializationFactory.
