---------------------------------------
Thanks for the feedback; yes, I'll now proceed with _master_ and SortedOutput,
and provide additional patches
> Avoid use of BufferTooSmallException to signal end of buffer in
> UnorderedPartitionedKVWriter

> UnorderedPartitionedKVWriter delegates serialization to the application,
> passing it a private ByteArrayOutputStream. In case the buffer is exhausted,
> ByteArrayOutputStream signals that with a private BufferTooSmallException,
> which can be seen but not dealt with by the application. As [~cwensel]
> pointed out, when the application is in fact a complex framework, there is no
> way to distinguish this exception from a real failure, which compels logging
> the full stack even for reasonable events such as "buffer complete".
> Suggested approach: set a "complete" flag in ByteArrayOutputStream that
> disables any further output, and replace BufferTooSmallException (BTSE)
> handling by checking that flag.
> [~sseth] suggested checking out SortedOutput as well, as the mechanisms there
> should be similar.
> I'll give this a go this week.
