Support for ShortType, ByteType

[echan5]

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!

Yes, of course, please send your PR.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with Scala. I could probably guess some of it but I'm not sure if you'd prefer someone who is familiar with Scala coding that?

No problem. Scala is not very different from Java.

I code in python mostly, so thank you, much appreciated!
