> MapFiles are not correctly detected by SequenceFileInputFormat.
> This is because the listStatus method only detects a MapFile correctly if the 
> path it checks is a directory - it then replaces it by the path of the data 
> file.
> This is likely to fail if the data file does not exist, i.e., if the input 
> path is a directory, but does not belong to a MapFile, or if recursion is 
> turned on and the input format comes across a file (not a directory) which is 
> indeed part of a MapFile.
> The listStatus method should be changed to detect these cases correctly:
> * if the current candidate is a file and its name is "index" or "data", check 
> if its corresponding other file exists, and if the key types of both files 
> match and if the value type of the index file is LongWritable
> * If the current candidate is a directory, it is only a MapFile if (and only 
> if) an index and a data file exist, they are both SequenceFiles and their key 
> types match (and the index value type is LongWritable)
