Sharad Agarwal commented on HADOOP-6120:
----------------------------------------
The Serialization interface can be implemented for Avro types. Currently Avro
has 3 types in java: specific, reflect and generic. I think the current
Serialization interface is fine to implement 'specific' type as the schema
information can be inferred from the class. The schema can't be inferred from
the 'reflect' and 'generic' type classes. So the current Serialization
interface doesn't seem to be sufficient to implement these. I think the
Serialization interface need to be extended to pass on additional info to have
implementation for 'generic' and 'reflect'.
