Karthik Kambatla commented on HADOOP-9124:
------------------------------------------
Thanks Suren - the fifth point seems to have already been addressed.
Few more nits (hopefully the last :) ):
# We can be a little conservative on the test timeouts - they shouldn't timeout
just because we run them on a slow/loaded machine. Do you think 200 ms is
conservative enough? If not, we can may be bump it up to 1s.
# The indentation seems to be off on a few lines.

> This issue is similar to HADOOP-7153. It was found when using MRUnit - see
> MRUNIT-158, specifically
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRUNIT-158?focusedCommentId=13501985&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13501985

> o.a.h.io.SortedMapWritable implements the java.util.Map interface, however it
> does not define an implementation of the equals() or hashCode() methods;
> instead the default implementations in java.lang.Object are used.
> This violates the contract of the Map interface which defines different
> behaviour for equals() and hashCode() than Object does. More information
> here:
> http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Map.html#equals(java.lang.Object)
> The practical consequence is that SortedMapWritables containing equal entries
> cannot be compared properly. We were bitten by this when trying to write an
> MRUnit test for a Mapper that outputs MapWritables; the MRUnit driver cannot
> test the equality of the expected and actual MapWritable objects.
