Enis Soztutar updated HADOOP-3380: ---------------------------------- Attachment: comparator_wip1.patch > need comparators in serializer framework > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-3380 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3380 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: io > Reporter: Doug Cutting > Attachments: comparator_wip1.patch, comparator_wip1.patch > > > The new serialization framework permits Hadoop to incorporate different > serialization systems, including Hadoop's Writable, Thrift, Java > Serialization, etc. It provides a generic, extensible means > (SerializationFactory) to create serializers and deserializers for arbitrary > Java classes. However it does not include a generic means to create > comparators for these classes. Comparators are required for MapReduce keys > and many other computations. Thus we should enhance the serialization > framwork to provide comparators too. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
