>
> HbaseObjectWritable has a static initialization block that assigns ints to
> various classes. The int is assigned by using a local variable that is
> incremented after each use. If someone adds a line in the middle of the
> block, this throws off everything after the change, and can break client
> compatibility. There is already a comment to not add/remove lines at the
> beginning of this block. It might make sense to have a test against a static
> set of ids. If something gets changed unintentionally, it would at least
> fail the tests. If the change was intentional, at the very least the test
> would need to get updated, and it would be a conscious decision.
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5204 contains the the fix for one
> issue of this type.
