Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-3045:
---------------------------------------------
bq. How do you configure BOF vs CFOF?
By calling setOutputFormatClass on the job.
bq. Why do we need to keep CFOF around?
I can think of two reasons: firstly, by removing it, we break every existing
job. This is pretty easy for users to fix though, as indicated above.
Secondly, someone might want access to each individual record as soon as
possible, rather than waiting for the entire job to finish and stream a bunch
of sstables. It's a latency vs throughput tradeoff.
