Harsh J Chouraria updated HADOOP-7328:
--------------------------------------
Status: Open (was: Patch Available)
I thought of the throws XYZException way, but that'd require an incompatible
change wouldn't it?
I think it should be possible to detect the issue at sub-time, but I'll have to
try that with some tests. Let me get back to you with something in that
direction.
> Give more information about a missing Serializer class

> When you have a key/value class that's non Writable and you forget to attach
> io.serializers for the same, an NPE is thrown by the tasks with no
> information on why or what's missing and what led to it. I think a better
> exception can be thrown by SerializationFactory instead of an NPE when a
> class is not found accepted by any of the loaded ones.
