Description

See HBASE-9834.

We should have a test that:

1. generates a file with all kinds of objects serialized into it. Save that file as part of the HBase tests
2. a test can then read the objects back from that file
3. a test can regenerate that file

If both tests pass we can be reasonably sure that neither readFields nor write was changed in an incompatible way.
