Prashant Kommireddi commented on PHOENIX-129:
---------------------------------------------
bq. It'd just be invoked in a different, more standard manner.
I'm not sure of how widely this MR job is currently being used, nevertheless it
becomes a backward-incompatible change in terms of invoking it. May be the old
one could be removed, but this would require communication beforehand IMHO. An
upgrade should ideally not throw users off of what they are used to doing. I
will leave that up to you guys as you might know more about its current use.
Pull request sounds good.

> In implementing PHOENIX-66, it was noted that the current MapReduce-based
> importer implementation has a number issues, including the following:
> * CSV handling is largely replicated from the non-MR code, with no ability to
> specify custom separators
> * No automated tests, and code is written in a way that makes it difficult to
> test
> * Unusual custom config loading and handling instead of using
> GenericOptionParser and ToolRunner and friends
> The initial work towards PHOENIX-66 included refactoring the MR importer
> enough to use common code, up until the development of automated testing
> exposed the fact that the MR importer could use some major refactoring.
> This ticket is a proposal to do a relatively major rework of the MR import,
> fixing the above issues. The biggest improvements that will result from this
> are a common codebase for handling CSV input, and the addition of automated
> testing for the MR import.
