I did not mean a special Kryo serializer but our very own
`WritableSerializer`. With the current implementation `WritableTypeInformation`
has precedence over `GenericTypeInfo`. This means that if the `TypeExtractor`
sees a `Writable` subtype, then it creates a `WritableTypeInfo`. If the type is
the `Writable` interface, then a `GenericTypeInfo` is returned and, thus, Kryo
is used.
> Type extractor does not support Writable type

> The type extractor supports sub types of {{Writable}} but not {{Writable}}
> itself. The reason is that it wants to create a {{WritableTypeInfo}} which is
> not possible for the interface {{Writable}}, though. A solution would be to
> treat the {{Writable}} interface like a generic type.
