> For the CellCache the need for a HbaseMapWritable that has a different kind of map used internally
> has showed up. The problem is that the instantiation of the map is done static so you have no control 
> over it and if extending HMW you get both the memory usage for the parent as well as the child.
> After trying out different ideas on how to solve this, it seems like the easiest way would be to have a setMapType
> method and just set it to null in the code. If the old code would be kept you would need to instantiate 2
> different maps. The problem with setting it to null is that all the old code needs to be changed to fit the new model,
> and also be used in the future.
