Vertex serialization

Hello,

I've noticed that Vertex's Writable implementation (readFields and
write) write longs for map (edges and messages) sizes (which are
ints). Is it for some compatibility reason?

It should probably be ints instead of longs for now.  I think I was 
thinking of day when it might be possible to have more than 
Integer.MAX_VALUE edges or messages.  But that would break this current 
implementation anyway.
