> WritableName allows users shim in aliases for writables, in the case where a SequenceFile was written with a Writable class that has since been renamed or moved to another package. However, this requires that the aliased class extend Writable. 
> Separately it's possible to configure jobs with keys and values which don't actually extend Writable. Instead they are meant to be serialized/deserialized using the serialization classes defined in {{io.serializations}} config.
> Unfortunately, the current implementation does not support these key/value classes. All we need to do to support this is remove the {{.asSubclass(Writable.class)}} as is already the case for the default.
