Description

o.a.h.h.i.HbaseObjectWritable does not support read/write of unknown Writable object (will throw UnsupportedIoerationException);
in addition, writing a known Writable object, e.g., HColumnDescriptor, will write the code twice.
furthermore, it may be useful to change addToMap from private to public.

not causing any problem with hbase, but will be nice to have the above corrected, especially part of the code is already there.
