------------------------------------------


(side note: i really hate the unexpected side effects that the jira text editor can invoke.  It clearly doesn't like exclamation points.  I'd go back and fix it, but since I don't have edit privs...)

BTW, I can't find the JIRA, but I know the HDFS guys were thinking along the lines of supporting pretty much any character they throw at it, similar to how most POSIX file systems work.  It is interesting to think how that arrangement will impact the MR side of the house....

> 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).
