Dick King commented on HADOOP-120:
----------------------------------

I realized that, of course, but I'm not expecting a whole lot of small 
ArrayWritable's .

Owen O'Malley's solution has the problem that ArrayWritables can themselves 
contain ArrayWritables.  We might, for example, want to have a two-component 
ArrayWritable where there are some integers and some UTF8s,  so we need a class

  public class ArrayOfArrayOfSomeIntsAndSomeUTF8s extends ArrayWritable
  {
     ... filling this in gives me a headache
  }
