Zhijie Shen commented on MAPREDUCE-5530:
----------------------------------------
[~rkanter], IMHO, it's not a good idea to make isSplitable(JobContext context,
Path file) call isSplitable(FileSystem fs, Path file), because, it introduces
the step of FileSystem.get(context.getConfiguration()), which may lead to
unexpected IOException. Personally, I incline not to increase the instability
of Hadoop2 code pass. Thoughts?
> Binary and source incompatibility in mapred.lib.CombineFileInputFormat
> between branch-1 and branch-2

> Key: MAPREDUCE-5530
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5530
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: mrv1, mrv2
> Affects Versions: 2.1.1-beta
> Reporter: Robert Kanter
> Assignee: Robert Kanter
> Priority: Blocker
> Attachments: MAPREDUCE-5530.patch, MAPREDUCE-5530.patch

> {{mapred.lib.CombineFileInputFormat}} in branch-1 has this method:
> {code:java}
> protected boolean isSplitable(FileSystem fs, Path file)
> {code}
> In branch-2, {{mapred.lib.CombineFileInputFormat}} is now a subclass of
> {{mapreduce.lib.input.CombineFileInputFormat}}, from which it inherits the
> similar method:
> {code:java}
> protected boolean isSplitable(JobContext context, Path file)
> {code}
> This means that any code that subclasses
> {{mapred.lib.CombineFileInputFormat}} and does not provide its own
> implementation of {{protected boolean isSplitable(FileSystem fs, Path file)}}
> will not be binary or source compatible if it tries to call {{isSplitable}}
> with a {{FileSystem}} argument anywhere (that is, if compiled against
> branch-1, it will throw a {{NoSuchMethodError}} if run against branch-2;
> also, it won't even compile against branch-2).
