Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-3315:
--------------------------------------

> Used SequenceFile and TFile to implement two common interfaces [ ... ]

This calls out the need, as we add TFile, to have a common API for container 
files.  This would, e.g., reduce code duplication in input and output formats 
for mapreduce.  This is related to HADOOP-4065.

> SequenceFile's block compression format is too complex and requires 4 codecs
