Nitay Joffe updated HCATALOG-516:
---------------------------------
Description: HCOF methods use Job everywhere when really all they need is
Configuration/Credentials. In Giraph we have a few places where we don't have a
Job object but we do have the Configuration/Credentials. When the job starts we
have the Job object, but later when the workers are deep in their computation
all they have is the context they need, namely the Configuration (not the whole
Job). We need to call some HCatalog methods from them because we we want to
write data multiple times, so it seems cleaner to allow HCatalog methods to
just take the Configuration object when that is all that is needed. (was: HCOF
methods use Job everywhere when really all they need is
Configuration/Credentials. In Giraph we have a few places where we don't have a
Job object but we do have the Configuration/Credentials.)
> HCOF should use less generic parameters
