Jesse Yates commented on HBASE-8702:
------------------------------------
[~sershe] thanks for taking a look! Yeah, that seems like using the
ReflectionUtils it would be better.
What I'm really try to get is an easy way to doing custom KeyValue
(de)serialization to handle special KeyValues. Before, you basically had to
completely rewrite the SequenceFileLogWriter/Reader (in 0.94). Its not as bad
for 0.96 where you could use the ProtobufLogReader/Writer, but its still a
unclean that way to handle custom types.

> WALEditCode needs to be pluggable to support alternative serialziation
> mechanisms.
> The open question here is whether to support the alternative codec when doing
> replication - both clusters would need the codec on the classpath, which has
> additional overhead and also will be a little bit complicated when making the
> WAL serialization backwards compatible in 0.94.
> This is the follow-up to HBASE-8636.
