---------------------------------
Summary: Make WritableTypeFamily more compact for composite types
Key: CRUNCH-173
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CRUNCH-173
Project: Crunch
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core
Reporter: Josh Wills
Assignee: Josh Wills
I'm throwing this out as something of a strawman JIRA: it's always bugged me
how verbose the serialization of TupleWritable et al. are compared to the Avro
formats, so I took a crack at changing their underlying serialization to be
more compact by doing more things in terms of BytesWritable and using the
wrapping MapFns in order to do more of the de-serialization work. Patch is
attached, if anyone is interested in this or has an opinion on whether or not
this is a good idea, I'd love to hear it. The big pro is that Crunch jobs that
have to use writables will run faster as a result, the downside is that it's
not backwards compatible and it makes the code more complex.
