Hey Moritz! Per our discussion yesterday, whether a data type works depends on how it is handled. Certain types are handled by the system directly (primitives, boxed primitives, arrays, Value types and Hadoop Writables.
Other types are delegated to Avro. Avro has some limitation when it comes to collections, that currently limits types. We plan to move the generic serialization to Kryo.
