Siddharth Seth commented on TEZ-1288:
-------------------------------------
+1. Looks good. Thanks [~rajesh.balamohan]. This is an awesome change - the
savings in the data being sent over the wire for BytesWritable.
> Create FastTezSerialization as an optional feature

> Tez inherits the writable framework from map-reduce.
> This is very flexible, but not particularly memory efficient for the small
> data types.
> When deserializing, each value and key has to be allocated afresh for each
> small chunk of data (new IntWritable instead of .set()).
> The bytes writable serialization operation always has to write a 4 byte
> prefix for all values and keys, because of requirements around streamed
> .readFields() instead of a customer setter/getter impl.
> Implement a faster serialization mechanism for the inner loop of sort, spill,
> merge, which doesn't trigger the GC and avoids adding simplistic overheads to
> the IFile format.
