No Support for setting MapFileOutputFormat in newer API

[Abhinav M Kulkarni]

Hi,

I was trying to set output format class using job.setOutputFormatClass() 
in newer API (org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce), however the method does not 
accept 'MapFileOutputFormat.class' argument. And MapFileOutputFormat is 
imported from older API (org.apache.hadoop.mapred) in Eclipse and there 
seems to be no equivalent version of it under 
org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce (newer API).

Is it the simple case of newer API lacking support for producing map files?

Thanks.
