Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-6323:
--------------------------------------
I'd prefer we throw an exception rather than return null when a comparator is
not available. This will permit code that requires comparable objects to use
this API without having to worry about NullPointerExceptions or performing
extra checks.
> Serialization should provide comparators
