Well that's why I asked about creating a Jira.
Here's the code ...
jc = new JobClient(new JobConf(conf) );
conf is actually an instance of Configuration which is what we are *supposed*
to use. ;-)
Of course JobConf has an ugly 'strikeout' through it. And that's what I meant
by "ugly".
I wonder if there's a better interface to JobTracker than JobClient planned?
(Not that I'm complaining. It does what I need...)
I would hope that JobClient gets refactored to know about Configuration.. :-)
Thx
