Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-6323: -------------------------------------- > what key should be used in the metadata to specify the schema string. This part was already implemented in HADOOP-6165. Currently the serialization system is named by the "Serialization-Class" metadata key. The currently supported values for this key are: "org.apache.hadoop.io.serializer.WritableSerialzation", "org.apache.hadoop.io.serializer.JavaSerialzation", and "org.apache.hadoop.io.serializer.avro.AvroSerialzation". Writable and Java serialization implementations use the key "Serialized-Class" to the name the serialized Java class, and Avro's serialization implementation uses the key "Avro-Schema" for the schema. These are currently stored by SequenceFile's metadata. So the proposal here adds no new metadata keys or values. It simply adds a new method to the existing Serialization API, extending it to also support the creation of raw comparators. > Serialization should provide comparators > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-6323 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6323 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: io > Reporter: Doug Cutting > > The Serialization interface should permit one to create raw comparators. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
