Dinesh S. Atreya commented on HDFS-9607:
----------------------------------------
Personal preference regarding API naming.
* We can prefer to use "writeInPlace" for the method name (as it is
descriptive). Welcome other suggestions.
* We can have auxiliary methods "updtInPlace" and "deleteInPlace" which will be
no-ops performing the check "checkWriteInPlace" or calling "writeInPlace".
The Hadoop sub-systems such as ORC, HIVE, etc. may then override "updtInPlace"
and "deleteInPlace" methods to implement functionality relevant to each.
