Harsh J resolved MAPREDUCE-218. ------------------------------- Resolution: Won't Fix Users may override/extend the SFOF if they want to utilize SequenceFile.Writer's new metadata methods/features. > Map/Reduce job with SequenceFileOutputFormat should be able to add user > specified metadata to the output file > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-218 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-218 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Runping Qi > > When creating a map/reduce job with SequenceFileFormat, > the user would like to add some metada to the output files automatically. > In particular, if the output value class was a JuteRecord class generated > from a Jute IDL, > we would like to add JUTE_IDL/IDL_STRING as a attribute/value pair of the > metadata. > This way, the output files will be self describing: > When an application that tries to use the files may not have the value class > with it. > But the application can use Jute tool to generate the classes on demand. > Or better yet, the SequenceFile record reader may be able to do that > automatically. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
