T Jake Luciani commented on CASSANDRA-4208:
-------------------------------------------
I'm ok with this now that it works with MultipleOutputs (nice find), though I'm
not sure if it should be in 1.1 since it would break existing scripts. Would
you be able to make it backwards compatible by adding the old constructor back
and using the setColumnFamily() in there?
> ColumnFamilyOutputFormat should support writing to multiple column families

> It is not currently possible to output records to more than one column family
> in a single reducer. Considering that writing values to Cassandra often
> involves multiple column families (i.e. updating your index when you insert a
> new value), this seems overly restrictive. I am submitting a patch that
> moves the specification of column family from the job configuration to the
> write() call in ColumnFamilyRecordWriter.
