Doug Cutting commented on MAPREDUCE-1126:
-----------------------------------------
This is looking great. A few minor nits, and then I think we can commit it.
- the patch is stale and does not apply cleanly
- should ReduceTask#getClassFromMetadata be in ClassBasedJobData?
- should we file another issue to fix the skipping feature to be
serialization-savvy?
> shuffle should use serialization to get comparator

> Currently the key comparator is defined as a Java class. Instead we should
> use the Serialization API to create key comparators. This would permit,
> e.g., Avro-based comparators to be used, permitting efficient sorting of
> complex data types without having to write a RawComparator in Java.
