[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-4459) HbaseObjectWritable code is a byte,
we will eventually run out of codes

-------------------------------
+1 on making code of type short.

> Key: HBASE-4459
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4459
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: io
> Reporter: Jonathan Gray
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 0.94.0
>
>
> There are about 90 classes/codes in HbaseObjectWritable currently and Byte.MAX_VALUE is 127. In addition, anyone wanting to add custom classes but not break compatibility might want to leave a gap before using codes and that's difficult in such limited space.
> Eventually we should get rid of this pattern that makes compatibility difficult (better client/server protocol handshake) but we should probably at least bump this to a short for 0.94.
