HADOOP-6218 exposed the internal "Location" object as a global
Record Sequence Number (RecNum). The feature is useful in a number
of ways: (1) support progress reporting for upper layers (object
file, zebra); (2) use RecNum as cursor by a secondary index; (3)
support aligned split across multiple parallel TFiles. Given that
TFile is still at its early stage of being adopted, I suggest that
we port the patch back to hadoop 0.20/0.21 now.
