[jira] Created: (MAPREDUCE-1126) shuffle should use serialization to get comparator

shuffle should use serialization to get comparator
--------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MAPREDUCE-1126
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1126
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: task
            Reporter: Doug Cutting


Currently the key comparator is defined as a Java class.  Instead we should use the Serialization API to create key comparators.  This would permit, e.g., Avro-based comparators to be used, permitting efficient sorting of complex data types without having to write a RawComparator in Java.

-1 to this massive API change without much more dialog. The scope of the patch was much larger than the description.
