Eli Reisman commented on GIRAPH-204:
------------------------------------
I like this idea a lot. Strongly typed IO would still be available for
experienced users, we need more explicitly-named IO formats and other things in
this codebase to just get new users up and running with very shallow learning
curve. End users should think about algorithms only, all other headaches should
be under the hood whenever possible.
> Writables don't promote and that's quite suboptimal

> Right now all our in/outputformats have to be exactly type conformant. This
> means that spitting an IntWritable to an OutputFormat causes a
> runtimeexception. We either need to make sure the formats are
> lowest-common-denominator, or are able to correctly handle reasonable type
> sloppiness.
