> When {{HbaseObjectWritable#writeObject}} serializes a {{Writable}} RPC parameter, it writes its "class code" twice to the wire.  {{writeClassCode}} is already called once unconditionally at the beginning of the method, and for {{Writable}} arguments, it's called a second time towards the end of the method.  It seems that the code is trying to deal with the "declared type" vs. "actual type" of a parameter.  The Hadoop RPC code was already doing this before Stack changed it to use codes in r608738 for HADOOP-2519.  It's not documented when this is useful though, and I couldn't find any use case.  Every RPC I've seen so far just ends up with the same byte sent twice to the wire.
