------------------------------------------


(side note: i really hate the unexpected side effects that the jira text editor 
can invoke.  It clearly doesn't like exclamation points.  I'd go back and fix 
it, but since I don't have edit privs...)

BTW, I can't find the JIRA, but I know the HDFS guys were thinking along the 
lines of supporting pretty much any character they throw at it, similar to how 
most POSIX file systems work.  It is interesting to think how that arrangement 
will impact the MR side of the house....

> 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).
