    This is really minor, but it might also be nice to deprecate this, and 
migrate the core deserialization over to Utils, so we are not calling a 
deprecated class.

> Currently when a new version of storm is released in order to upgrade 
> existing storm clusters users need to backup their existing topologies , kill 
> all the topologies , perform the upgrade and resubmit all the topologies. 
> This is painful and results in downtime which may not be acceptable for 
> "Always alive"  production systems.
> Storm should support a rolling  upgrade/downgrade deployment process to avoid 
> these downtimes and to make the transition to a different version effortless. 
> Based on my initial attempt the primary issue seem to be the java 
> serialization used to serialize java classes like StormBase, Assignment, 
> WorkerHeartbeat which is then stored in zookeeper. When deserializing if the 
> serial versions do not match the deserialization fails resulting in processes 
> just getting killed indefinitely. We need to change the Utils/serialize and 
> Utils/deserialize so it can support non java serialization mechanism like 
> json.
