Tom White commented on HADOOP-8825: ----------------------------------- It's to support a wrapper around SequenceFile for Avro types: http://avro.apache.org/docs/1.7.1/api/java/org/apache/avro/hadoop/io/AvroSequenceFile.html. But it would be preferable to use the existing constructors or createWriter methods. I'll take a look to see if that's possible. > Reinstate constructors in SequenceFile.BlockCompressWriter and > SequenceFile.RecordCompressWriter for compatibility with Hadoop 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-8825 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8825 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: io > Affects Versions: 2.0.1-alpha > Reporter: Tom White > Assignee: Tom White > Attachments: HADOOP-8825.patch > > > Two constructors were removed in Hadoop 2 which causes a problem for Avro > being able to support Hadoop 1 and Hadoop 2.
