The scope of changes is bigger than I thought initially.
The introduction of this method:
public static Writable newInstance(DataInput dataInput)
would probably lead to an abstract class which is called, e.g.
WritableWithoutDefaultCtor.
if(Writable.class.isAssignableFrom(instanceClass)){
if(WritableWithoutDefaultCtor.class.isAssignableFrom(instanceClass)){
HTD would be the first beneficiary.
