Resolution: Fixed
> Create ByteValueVertex to store vertex values as bytes without object instance

> This modification creates an alternative to DefaultVertex that stores the
> vertex value as raw bytes and only realizes the object when getValue() is
> called. The purpose of this change is to reduce memory consumption when
> vertex values are large.
> User must define their own BytesToValueConverter class to translate the
> object type to bytes and back. I created ones for float and doubles. Using
> Java's serialization is bad idea as it adds a lot of overhead (for example
> full class names). However, one could easily create a generic
> bytevalueconverter that uses java serialization.
> Configuration -vcl is used to define the vertex class and -bc the converter.
> For example:
> -vcl org.apache.giraph.graph.ByteValueVertex -bc
> org.apache.giraph.graph.byteconverters.DoubleConverter
