> 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).
