------------------------------------
This won't affect MRUNIT-19 correct?

> deserialize to do defensive copying into input lists

> Key: MRUNIT-95
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRUNIT-95
> Project: MRUnit
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.9.0
> Reporter: Jim Donofrio
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: serialization
>
> Use Serialization framework to change all add input methods to serialize,
> deserialize to do defensive copying into input lists. This will prevent users
> from modifying input objects by accident and then having a test fail. The one
> problem is ideally this defensive copying would be done when the user calls
> addInput. The problem is dealing with custom serializations that require a
> setting in the conf. Users would have to make sure to set the property in the
> conf before adding any input, this may break some existing test programs. I
> guess we can just throw a meaningful exception in the add method when we
> cannot serialize, deserialize. Any thoughts?
> Also deprecate and eventually remove getInputValues method in
> ReduceDriverBase to prevent access to the input list.
