Hi,

Why the Job API is using ArrayList instead of List?

It is used in constructor:
public Job(JobConf jobConf, ArrayList<Job> dependingJobs)

and one public method:
public ArrayList<Job> getDependingJobs()

Is there any reason why it is referencing to implementation while  
it could
be replaced by interface?


Originally an oversight, we did file http://issues.apache.org/jira/ 
browse/HADOOP-2268 but didn't change it to keep it compatible...
