Hi, In FLUME-978, I make the case that the Context object should provide a few convenience methods and store types internally the same way the data will be store externally (properties file) as Strings.
I am looking for comment on this before writing a patch as I think the method: get(String key, Class<? extends T> clazz) will need to be removed and this would touch a large number of lines of code. Cheers, Brock -- Apache MRUnit - Unit testing MapReduce - http://incubator.apache.org/mrunit/
