Hi all: Is there a reason Avro’s Hadoop serialization classes don’t allow configuration of the DatumReader and DatumWriter classes?
My use-case is that I’m implementing Clojure DatumReader and -Writer classes which produce and consume Clojure’s data structures directly. I’d like to then extend that to Hadoop MapReduce jobs which operate in terms of Clojure data, with Avro handling all de/serialization directly to/from that Clojure data. Am I going around this in a backwards fashion, or would a patch to allow configuration of the Hadoop serialization DatumReader/Writers be welcome? -Marshall
