Tom White commented on HADOOP-6120: ----------------------------------- JavaSerialization was written more to demonstrate the generality of the abstraction (HADOOP-1986) than to be used in real-world applications, since its performance is considerably less than Writables (and presumably Avro). So I would be inclined not to add it to the default list, preferring users to explicitly enable it. Does this sound reasonable? > Add support for Avro types in hadoop > ------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-6120 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6120 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Sharad Agarwal > Assignee: Sharad Agarwal > Attachments: 6120_v1.patch, 6120_v2.patch, 6120_v3.patch, > 6120_v4.patch, 6120_v5.patch, HADOOP-6120.patch > > > Support to serialize and deserialize Avro types in Hadoop. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
