An alternative to this would be to create a project for serializations. Other projects have successfully provided external libraries for Hadoop, e.g. Pig, Hive, Elephant Bird, Plume, Cascading, Mahout etc. This would make it possible for users to choose which library they wanted to use, and allows updates to the library to be driven by the library's release schedule, not Hadoop's.
