- What impact (if any) will there be on existing users?
For the users who rely on IOReadableWritable for serialization/deserialization to serialize/deserialize the Path will need to migrate to using the serializeToDataOutputView/deserializeFromDataInputView methods in the Path class. This migration shouldn't be difficult.
- As the implementation method of IOReadableWritable in the Path class is part of the public API, we will deprecate the method 2 releases before removing it.
