    Sure. I can see your point. An example for the json,
    
{"class":"org.apache.spark.ml.linalg.Matrix","type":0,"numRows":3,"numCols":2,"colPtrs":[0,1,3,4],"rowIndices":[1,0,1,0],"values":[1.21,2.3,9.8,9.0],"isTransposed":true}
    
    Sure we can use Int for `class` or different ranges of `type` to 
distinguish different classes. While storage efficiency is important, I also 
want to have a solution that's easy to extend for future and friendly for 
debugging or trouble shooting. Thus keeping the literal class info in the json 
is still attractive to me. Is it OK if we simply use `class:Matrix` for this?
