[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-8619) WritableComparator must implement no-arg constructor

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8619?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13431940#comment-13431940 ] 

Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-8619:
----------------------------------------

I don't see this breaking anything, and it lets people chose how they serialise stuff, that's their choice.

> Because of reasons listed here: http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/bugDescriptions.html#SE_COMPARATOR_SHOULD_BE_SERIALIZABLE
> comparators should be serializable. To make deserialization work, it is required that all superclasses have no-arg constructor. http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/bugDescriptions.html#SE_NO_SUITABLE_CONSTRUCTOR
> Simply add no=arg constructor to  WritableComparator.
