stack commented on HADOOP-414:
------------------------------

On adding a base abstract ImplicitVersionedWritable, I can see how injection of 
application version can be done easily for application-specific Comparables -- 
as is done above for the DFS-specific DatanodeID class -- but I'm wondering how 
would the version be injected when an application uses  generic Comparables 
such as BytesWritable?  Would an application have to pass its version on every 
instance creation? E.g. 'new BytesWritable(byte [] b, int version)'?

> Since class UTF8 is deprecated, all references of UTF8 in hadoop should be 
> replaced with class Text if the change does not break the system.
