Ok, so where are we on all this and specifically [CODEC-134<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CODEC-134> ]?
It seems that [CODEC-134 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CODEC-134>], if applied should be for a 1.x, not a 1.x.y because of the change of behavior. If it is not applied, then we need... new classes or more behavior in the current class tunnable with something (constructor, config object) We also need someone to implement it... Thoughts?
