-----------------------------------
Latest changes on 'trunk' need to be merged on 'parquet' branch so that this
patch can be tested.

> The ETypeConverter class passes Writable objects to the collection converters
> in order to be read later by the map/reduce functions. These objects are all
> wrapped in a unique ArrayWritable object.
> We can save some memory by returning the java primitive objects instead in
> order to prevent memory allocation. The only writable object needed by
> map/reduce is ArrayWritable. If we create another writable class where to
> store primitive objects (Object), then we can stop using all primitive
> wirtables.
