> Tez inherits the writable framework from map-reduce. 
> This is very flexible, but not particularly memory efficient for the small data types.
> When deserializing, each value and key has to be allocated afresh for each small chunk of data (new IntWritable instead of .set()).
> The bytes writable serialization operation always has to write a 4 byte prefix for  all values and keys, because of requirements around streamed .readFields() instead of a customer setter/getter impl.
> Implement a faster serialization mechanism for the inner loop of sort, spill, merge, which doesn't trigger the GC and avoids adding simplistic overheads to the IFile format.
