-------------------------------------
I discussed this briefly with Julien during the hackathon. This is useful for
HCatLoader(ish) use case-(deserializing InputJobInfo). Do you guys have a patch
for this?
> ObjectSerializer should support classloader

> {ObjectSerializer} is pretty useful and could be used by UDF and other user
> code.
> Currently its limitation is that the class that is being deserialized should
> be visible to root class loader (ie. should be part of CLASSPATH on the front
> end). The registered jars are not visibile. This is because
> {{java.io.ObjectInputStream}} used to deserialize is from the root
> classloader.
> ObjectSerializer should support another method {{deserialize(str,
> ClassLoader)}}.
