Java RMI and Hadoop RecordIO

[David Alves]

Hi
	I've been testing some different serialization techniques, to go  
along with a research project.
	I know motivation behind hadoop serialization mechanism (e.g.  
Writable) and the enhancement of this feature through record I/O is  
not only performance, but also control of the input/output.
	Still I've been running some simple tests and I've foud that plain  
RMi beats Hadoop RecordIO almost every time (14-16% faster).
	In my test I have a simple java class that has 14 int fields and 1  
long field and I'm serializing aroung 35000 instances.
	Am I doing anything wrong? are there ways to improve performance in  
RecordIO? Have I got the use case wrong?
