/**
 * This deprecated package provides a mechanism for using different 
 * serialization frameworks in Hadoop. The property "io.serializations" 
 * defines a list of
 * {@link org.apache.hadoop.io.serializer.Serialization}s that know how to 
 * create {@link org.apache.hadoop.io.serializer.Serializer}s and
 * {@link org.apache.hadoop.io.serializer.Deserializer}s.
 * <p>
 *
 * To add a new serialization framework write an implementation of
 * {@link org.apache.hadoop.io.serializer.Serialization} and add its name to 
 * the "io.serializations" property.
 * <p>
 * 
 * This package has been replaced by the {@link org.apache.hadoop.io.serial} 
 * package.
