> 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.
