Review request for hcatalog.
Description
-------
Currently we expose the following interface to use HCatInputFormat:
"""
HCatInputFormat.setInput(job, InputJobInfo.create(dbName, inputTableName,
null));
"""
Notice how InputJobInfo is exposed directly to end-users. InputJobInfo should
be treated as an implementation detail, and the current API should be
deprecated and later removed.
This change is my first pass at deprecating the above. Feedback would be
appreciated. In particular, I'm interested in what method signatures we should
provide people. At present we need the following:
Configuration - required
database name - required
table name - required
filter - optional
properties - optional
To keep things simple I depercated everything except a single constructor that
takes those above arguments.
Questions:
* its cumbersome for users to say job.getConfiguration instead of passing in a
job - should we provide that convenience?
* filter is optional - should we provide a method that automatically nulls out?
* properties is optional and rarely used (I believe only in the hbase storage
handler) - should we provide a method that automatically sets to null?
This addresses bug HCATALOG-527.

Testing
-------
I have not run tests yet as I'm soliciting feedback on the interface change at
this time. Will run tests and our internal integration tests before posting a
final version.
Thanks,
Travis Crawford
