Hong Tang commented on HADOOP-6323:
-----------------------------------
Makes sense.
On a side note, I wonder if we could extend this pattern to support raw
comparator creation in general. Currently, both TFile and mapreduce creates raw
comparators using comparator class names. In mapreduce's case, the comparators
are created through ReflectionUtil, so in some way, you can pass more
information through the Configuration object.
> Serialization should provide comparators
