SequenceFile and MapFile need cleanup to remove redundant constructors
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-6856
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6856
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: io
Reporter: Owen O'Malley
Assignee: Owen O'Malley
Fix For: 0.22.0
Currently there are 2 public SequenceFile.Reader constructors, 3 public
SequenceFile.Writer constructors, 9 public SequenceFile.createWriter, 2 public
MapFile.Reader constructors, and 8 public MapFile.Writer constructors. All of
with various historical combinations of parameters that don't cover the entire
space.
All of this makes it *very* difficult to add new optional parameters to
SequenceFile and MapFile.
I'd like change to the style of FileContext.create with option parameters. I'll
implement one public SequenceFile.Reader constructor and one public
SequenceFile.createWriter and implement all of the current variants based on
those two. I'll do the same for MapFile.Reader and MapFile.Writer including
passing parameters down to the underlying SequenceFile.
