Github user rmetzger commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/304#issuecomment-70467240 I guess you are referring to this commit? https://github.com/apache/flink/commit/020b282bdc5468aa51b231e9ae8d4d3a1a76e696 I don't see a reason NOT to add commonly used types to Kryo by default. We shouldn't claim full Jodatime support anywhere. But having for example Jodatime's DateTime activated by default will lead to a much better user experience. If there were more users using other classes from Jodatime, there would be serializers for it.
