Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-62:
-------------------------------------
I attached another patch that uses SortedMap instead of Map.
For migration the proposed HTD.readFields needs an integer (written by
.writeInt()) ahead of the rest of the serialized HTD to process the old format.
I have tried to make migration easy. All that needs to be done is a simple
prepend of a serialized integer to the serialized HTDs in .META., but I don't
know how migration scripts work so maybe that is not simple or a complete
rewrite is no problem...
