Tom White commented on HADOOP-1986:
-----------------------------------
Dennis,
> Here is a SerializableWritable implementation that we currently use.
Thanks. This is an example of a wrapper that I hope we can move away from -
instead of writing MapReduce jobs with SerializableWritable types (and
wrapping/unwrapping using setSerializable/getSerializable), you would be able
to write them directly using Serializable types.
> Add support for a general serialization mechanism for Map Reduce

> Currently Map Reduce programs have to use WritableComparable-Writable
> key-value pairs. While it's possible to write Writable wrappers for other
> serialization frameworks (such as Thrift), this is not very convenient: it
> would be nicer to be able to use arbitrary types directly, without explicit
> wrapping and unwrapping.
