One of the benefits of using autogenerated objects for serialization, we
are finding, is just the fact that there is a strong, semantically
meaningful API.  This could seemingly be done by using a custom writable
class though, as well.  So... Does anyone know if there is a POJO writable
framework for Hadoop?  I think it would be relatively easy to implement one
by just extending, for example, MapWritable.

Hi Jay

Hadoop supports this already using the JavaSerialization class. I'm
not sure it is very performant though, when compared to usual Writable
serialization.

Alternatively you could use Avro (SpecificRecord objects
auto-generated from a schema file).

Cheers
