Typecode 50 for Writable not handled by typedbytes

I was having trouble reading data produced by Java MapReduce (basically sequence files with thrift records) using Dumbo. Turns out this was due to the typecode 50 (meant for writable) not being handled by Typedbytes.

Here is the link to the Hadoop streaming code that defines 50 for WRITABLE.
