Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-4352:
-----------------------------------

Yes, newBlockReader is essentially a wrapper for constructors (aka a "static 
factory method").

If you think we should instead have a Builder class, and a {{build}} method 
which returns BlockReader, then we'd be following the pattern more closely. I'd 
be fine with that as well - only a small difference from what Colin proposed 
here. Either is a lot better than the 8 or 12-argument methods we've got.
