> Kryo - Support multiple user registrators
> -----------------------------------------
>
>                 Key: SPARK-12080
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-12080
>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Spark Core
>    Affects Versions: 1.6.1
>            Reporter: Rotem
>            Priority: Minor
>              Labels: kryo, registrator, serializers
>   Original Estimate: 72h
>  Remaining Estimate: 72h
>
> Background: Currently when users need to have a custom serializer for their registered classes, they use the user registrator of Kryo using the spark.kryo.registrator configuration parameter.
> Problem: If the Spark user is an infrastructure itself, it may receive multiple such registrators but won't be able to register them.
> Important note: Currently the single registrator supported can't reach any state/configuration (it is instantiated by reflection with empty constructor)
> Using SparkEnv from user code isn't acceptable.
> Workaround:
> Create a wrapper registrator as a user, and have its implementation scan the class path for multiple classes. 
> Caveat: this is inefficient and too complicated.
> Suggested solution - support multiple registrators + stay backward compatible
> Option 1:
> enhance the value of spark.kryo.registrator  to support a comma separated list for class names. This will be backward compatible and won't add new parameters. 
> Option 2:
> to be more logical, add spark.kryo.registrators new parameter, while keeping the code handling the old one.
