eric baldeschwieler commented on MAPREDUCE-326:
-----------------------------------------------

Sounds like we are on the same page.  Proposals will be greeted with interest.

Acceptance criteria:

1) Backwards compatible to 20 (including legacy APIs in 20 please, since we're 
still debugging the new APIs)

2) Performance neutral for 20 APIs, no large hit for legacy APIs


> The lowest level map-reduce APIs should be byte oriented

> As discussed here:
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1986#action_12551237
> The templates, serializers and other complexities that allow map-reduce to 
> use arbitrary types complicate the design and lead to lots of object creates 
> and other overhead that a byte oriented design would not suffer.  I believe 
> the lowest level implementation of hadoop map-reduce should have byte string 
> oriented APIs (for keys and values).  This API would be more performant, 
> simpler and more easily cross language.
> The existing API could be maintained as a thin layer on top of the leaner API.
