> Although the current serializer framework is powerful, within the context of
> a job it is limited to picking a single serializer for a given class.
> Additionally, Avro generic serialization can make use of additional
> configuration/state such as the schema. (Most other serialization frameworks
> including Writable, Jute/Record IO, Thrift, Avro Specific, and Protocol
> Buffers only need the object's class name to deserialize the object.)
> With the goal of keeping the easy things easy and maintaining backwards
> compatibility, we should be able to allow applications to use context
> specific (eg. map output key) serializers in addition to the current type
> based ones that handle the majority of the cases. Furthermore, we should be
> able to support serializer specific configuration/metadata in a type safe
> manor without cluttering up the base API with a lot of new methods that will
> confuse new users.
