BucketizedHiveInputSplit.readFields()

[Ted Yu]

Hi,
I am wondering if the newInstance() call in readFields() can be performed
outside the for loop. We can assign this instance to inputSplits[i] in the
loop:

    for (int i = 0; i < numSplits; i++) {
      try {
        inputSplits[i] = (InputSplit) ReflectionUtils.newInstance(conf
            .getClassByName(inputSplitClassName), conf);
      } catch (Exception e) {

BTW where is conf defined ?

Thanks
