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

             Summary: storm-hdfs can only work with sequence files that use Writables
                 Key: STORM-595
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-595
             Project: Apache Storm
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.9.3
            Reporter: Mike Thomsen
            Assignee: Mike Thomsen
            Priority: Minor


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.
