Pete Wyckoff commented on HADOOP-4199:
--------------------------------------

I guess this JIRA brings up the larger point that although a 
Serializer/Deserializer may be on something that extends Writable, you may 
still need more information that that?  i.e., Binary, CSV, .. for RecordIO.  
This isn't a great example because admittedly CSV isn't a very useful format 
for long lived data.

So, maybe I should mark this as invalid? 

But, what if i did have data in CSV format? I could never get to it with the 
current Serialization framework and SequenceFileRecordReader - I would actually 
have to define my own SequenceFileRecordReader that knows not to add the 
default Writable Serialization implementation??
