> MultipleOutputs right now requires for Key/Value classes to utilize the Writable and WritableComparable interfaces, and fails if the associated key/value classes aren't doing so.
> With support for alternates like Avro serialization, using Writables isn't necessary and thus the MO class must not strictly check for them.
> And since comparators may be given separately, key class doesn't need to be checked for implementing a comparable (although it is good design if the key class does implement Comparable at least).
> Am not sure if this brings about an incompatible change (does Java have BIC? No idea).
