Kay Kay commented on HBASE-2209:
--------------------------------
This is kind of cheating in the sense, while deserializing - all List<T> always
comes down an ArrayList<T> .
As mentioned offline in the IRC by dj_ryan , avro as a generic solution for RPC
would address a lot of this. But until that happens - here is the patch.
> Support of List [ ] in HBaseOutputWritable for serialization

> On a higher language semantics , List < > are very useful for manipulation
> and when finally sent down to the wire - the protocol currently seems to take
> only [ ] through an expensive copy.
> Supporting List <T > directly would save us the copy in terms of memory and
> add to faster / deserialization.
