Aaron Kimball commented on HADOOP-6323:
---------------------------------------

@Tom this isn't a new check -- MapOutputBuffer.collect() already did this exact 
same check. But for MapOutputBuffer to use a generic serialization API that 
isn't necessarily class-based, this check is just being pushed down into the 
SerializerBase.serialize() method.

@Doug - Sure, I'll have WritableSerialization throw. AvroSerialization can't 
create the schema in the c'tor; the {{AvroSerialization.getSchema()}} method 
takes in the metadata as well as an example instance being serialized. That is 
not yet available when the AvroSerializer is being constructed. I don't see how 
AvroReflectSerialization would work without this.
