Mike Thomsen created STORM-595: ---------------------------------- Summary: storm-hdfs can only work with sequence files that use Writables Key: STORM-595 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-595 Project: Apache Storm Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 0.9.3 Reporter: Mike Thomsen Assignee: Mike Thomsen Priority: Minor
The current SequenceFormat interface requires that key() and value() return a class that implements Writable. This limitation makes it impossible to use object serialization systems like Avro or even Java serialization with the HDFS SequenceFileBolt. Proposed solution: change SequenceFormat so that key() and value() return an Object, not a Writable. This would keep existing functionality for those implementing Writable support while allowing serialization support for those of us that need it. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
