HbaseObjectWritable code is a byte, we will eventually run out of codes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-4459
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4459
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: io
Reporter: Jonathan Gray
Priority: Critical
Fix For: 0.94.0
There are about 90 classes/codes in HbaseObjectWritable currently and
Byte.MAX_VALUE is 127. In addition, anyone wanting to add custom classes but
not break compatibility might want to leave a gap before using codes and that's
difficult in such limited space.
Eventually we should get rid of this pattern that makes compatibility difficult
(better client/server protocol handshake) but we should probably at least bump
this to a short for 0.94.
