Add metadata to Serializations. > Add metadata to Serializations > ------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-6165 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6165 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: contrib/serialization > Reporter: Tom White > Assignee: Tom White > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.21.0 > > Attachments: HADOOP-6165-v2.patch, HADOOP-6165-v3.patch, > HADOOP-6165-v4.patch, HADOOP-6165.patch > > > The Serialization framework only allows a class to be passed as metadata. > This assumes there is a one-to-one mapping between types and Serializations, > which is overly restrictive. By permitting applications to pass arbitrary > metadata to Serializations, they can get more control over which > Serialization is used, and would also allow, for example, one to pass an Avro > schema to an Avro Serialization. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
