Description

The class org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.MapWritable could be made more generic through the use of ReflectionUtils so that it could support more Map key and value classes. Currently it supports Map<WritableComparable, Writable> only.

When more generalized, submit for consideration to be included in org.apache.hadoop.io
