Harsh J updated HADOOP-7328:
----------------------------

    Status: Open  (was: Patch Available)

Owen,

Yes I noticed it doesn't compile the base after I did an {{ant clean compile}}. Was gonna cancel the patch right before your comment went in.

Looking into the other issue you mention.

> When you have a key/value class that's non Writable and you forget to attach io.serializers for the same, an NPE is thrown by the tasks with no information on why or what's missing and what led to it. I think a better exception can be thrown by SerializationFactory instead of an NPE when a class is not found accepted by any of the loaded ones.
