Change the generic serialization framework API to use serialization-specific bytes instead of Map<String,String> for configuration ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-6685 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6685 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Owen O'Malley Assignee: Owen O'Malley Currently, the generic serialization framework uses Map<String,String> for the serialization specific configuration. Since this data is really internal to the specific serialization, I think we should change it to be an opaque binary blob. This will simplify the interface for defining specific serializations for different contexts (MAPREDUCE-1462). It will also move us toward having serialized objects for Mappers, Reducers, etc (MAPREDUCE-1183). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
