Review Comment:
Sounds good @ayushtkn. This class is annotated:
```
@InterfaceAudience.Private
@InterfaceStability.Evolving
```
So I thought we had more leeway (though i'm more used to hbase project).
I just pushed the change you requested.

> WritableName allows users shim in aliases for writables, in the case where a
> SequenceFile was written with a Writable class that has since been renamed or
> moved to another package. However, this requires that the aliased class
> extend Writable.
> Separately it's possible to configure jobs with keys and values which don't
> actually extend Writable. Instead they are meant to be
> serialized/deserialized using the serialization classes defined in
> {{io.serializations}} config.
> Unfortunately, the current implementation does not support these key/value
> classes. All we need to do to support this is remove the
> {{.asSubclass(Writable.class)}} as is already the case for the default.
