Harsh J Chouraria updated MAPREDUCE-2225:
-----------------------------------------

      Environment: Linux
    Fix Version/s:     (was: 0.23.0)
                   0.22.0

Perhaps this could go in 0.22 itself, if improvements are still accepted?

> MultipleOutputs should not require the use of 'Writable'

> MultipleOutputs right now requires for Key/Value classes to utilize the 
> Writable and WritableComparable interfaces, and fails if the associated 
> key/value classes aren't doing so.
> With support for alternates like Avro serialization, using Writables isn't 
> necessary and thus the MO class must not strictly check for them.
> And since comparators may be given separately, key class doesn't need to be 
> checked for implementing a comparable (although it is good design if the key 
> class does implement Comparable at least).
> Am not sure if this brings about an incompatible change (does Java have BIC? 
> No idea).
