> The current SequenceFormat interface requires that key() and value() return a class that implements Writable. This limitation makes it impossible to use object serialization systems like Avro or even Java serialization with the HDFS SequenceFileBolt.
> Proposed solution: change SequenceFormat so that key() and value() return an Object, not a Writable. This would keep existing functionality for those implementing Writable support while allowing serialization support for those of us that need it.
