Description

Hi @junshi15 ,

I was wondering if I could put in a request to support ShortType and ByteType? I'm getting errors like `Cannot convert field to unsupported data type ShortType` which I believe is coming from https://github.com/linkedin/spark-tfrecord/blob/master/src/main/scala/com/linkedin/spark/datasources/tfrecord/TFRecordSerializer.scala

Thank you!

Research direction

Start by reading src/main/scala/com/linkedin/spark/datasources/tfrecord/TFRecordSerializer.scala, especially the handling that reports unsupported data types. Trace how ShortType and ByteType are converted and check the existing project tests for serializer coverage. Done means both types are accepted when writing TFRecord data without the reported unsupported-type error.
