Chris Douglas commented on HADOOP-6685: --------------------------------------- bq. The ASF would veto any release of Hadoop that depended on an unreleased in-incubation artifact. This would complicate any plan to branch to 0.22, or at least release it, unless the build file was set up to exclude thrift-specific code. Thrift is a TLP: http://s.apache.org/e4f > Change the generic serialization framework API to use serialization-specific > bytes instead of Map<String,String> for configuration > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-6685 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6685 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assignee: Owen O'Malley > Fix For: 0.22.0 > > Attachments: libthrift.jar, serial.patch, serial4.patch, > serial6.patch, serial7.patch, SerializationAtSummit.pdf > > > Currently, the generic serialization framework uses Map<String,String> for > the serialization specific configuration.

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). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
