Luke Lu commented on HADOOP-6685:
---------------------------------

It'd be nice to have some documentation for it. I don't see a package.html or 
package-info.java (preferred) for the top level package (only package.html for 
the lib.avro is included), providing an overview of the system and how 
(preferably via some examples.) the system could be used.

@Doug, being able to process different file formats in other programming 
languages opens up many integration possibilities and even performance 
improvement if a faster language is used :)

> Change the generic serialization framework API to use serialization-specific 
> bytes instead of Map<String,String> for configuration

> Currently, the generic serialization framework uses Map<String,String> for 
> the serialization specific configuration. Since this data is really internal 
> to the specific serialization, I think we should change it to be an opaque 
> binary blob. This will simplify the interface for defining specific 
> serializations for different contexts (MAPREDUCE-1462). It will also move us 
> toward having serialized objects for Mappers, Reducers, etc (MAPREDUCE-1183).
