Drew Farris commented on MAHOUT-274: ------------------------------------ I suspect providing a writable wrapper that implements avro serialization may not bet the best way to go here. After looking at hadoop/avro api/code the best approach may be to implement something like AvroSerialization/AvroDeserializer/AvroSerializer. I need to look more closely at MAPREDUCE-815 and MAPREDUCE-1126 because much of the work for this has probably been done there already. > Use avro for serialization of structured documents. > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAHOUT-274 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-274 > Project: Mahout > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Drew Farris > Priority: Minor > Attachments: mahout-avro-examples.tar.gz > > > Explore the intersection between Writables and Avro to see how serialization > can be improved within Mahout. > An intermediate goal is the provide a structured document format that can be > serialized using Avro as an Input/OutputFormat and Writable -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
