Devaraj Das commented on HADOOP-2469: ------------------------------------- It is true that it is unlikely but can we not have a new API that takes Configuration ? That should handle all cases, no? > WritableUtils.clone should take Configuration rather than JobConf > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-2469 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2469 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: io > Reporter: stack > Assignee: stack > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.16.0 > > Attachments: clone.patch > > > I'd like to use WritableUtils.clone but I'm not in a mapred context so don't > have a JobConf to hand.
