Sounds like something we should be addressing (the ability to clear
iterators from a Job's configuration)...

Hi, Jamie,
Try the static method AccumuloInputFormat.addIterator(job, new
IteratorSetting(...)).
Note that the method isn't idempotent. To clear the iterators on a job
you can
call
job.getConfiguration.unset("AccumuloInputFormat.ScanOpts.Iterators") (but
that isn't officially part of the public API)

I am upgrading from Accumulo 1.6 to 1.7 and I am trying to
understand how iterators are supposed to be set in 1.7 for an input
format. In my situation, if a particular property is set an
additional iterator needs to be added to do some additional
checking. Previously I had done this in the
AbstractRecordReader.setupIterators() method but this has been
deprecated. I had attempted to put them in
AbstractRecordReader.contextIterators(), but this isn't always
called. This change has made me question if I was ever doing this
according to best practices and now wonder what the correct way to
do this is. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
