Harsh J commented on MAPREDUCE-4216:
------------------------------------
Hey Robbie, thanks for the patch and the report!
Do we _have_ to move static methods into the abstract OutputFormat class? Why
can't it remain in the FileOutputFormat class itself?
I agree MultipleOutputs should allow non FOF-extending classes (though it was
primarily written for file classes), however why doesn't your first change hunk
alone suffice for it?
> Make MultipleOutputs generic to support non-file output formats

> The current MultipleOutputs implementation is tied to FileOutputFormat in
> such a way that it is not extensible to other types of output. It should be
> made more generic, such as with an interface that can be implemented for
> different outputs.
