Github user rmetzger commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/304#issuecomment-70526481 Maybe I'm missing something but in my understanding if a user is using `DateTime` in a POJO, we would be able to serialize that efficiently with Kryo (without writing any classname for that). I agree that if a user is using the `Instant` class of Jodatime its either not working or slow. But thats fine because most users are probably using `DateTime`. Those users would have to take care of finding or implementing a serializer for it.
