We have a patch to AbstractMapWritable.addToMap(Class) that handles > the case when newClasses gets out of sync with the id to class mapping tables > and adds a serialization optimization to minimize the number of class names > to write out per MapWritable object. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
