CompactionOperation uses java.util.Optional which is not serializable.
Making kryo serializer work with java.util.Optional involves implementing a custom serializer (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36144618/spark-kryo-register-a-custom-serializer). With Hoodie being a library, this option may not be a generic one.
Instead of java.util.Optional , we can use Guava's version of Optional which is serializable. This PR makes changes only to CompactionOperation class. If everybody is ok with this, we can make one pass in separate PR to replace java.util.Optional with Guava's Optional.
