> Key: STORM-595
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-595
> Project: Apache Storm
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.9.3
> Reporter: Mike Thomsen
> Assignee: Mike Thomsen
> Priority: Minor
>
> The current SequenceFormat interface requires that key() and value() return a
> class that implements Writable. This limitation makes it impossible to use
> object serialization systems like Avro or even Java serialization with the
> HDFS SequenceFileBolt.
> Proposed solution: change SequenceFormat so that key() and value() return an
> Object, not a Writable. This would keep existing functionality for those
> implementing Writable support while allowing serialization support for those
> of us that need it.
