Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-4293: --------------------------------------- I should add that my biggest complaint is adding a new class in the mapred package that is only used by a library class. That doesn't seem like a good direction. Furthermore, the class doesn't add any new fields, just adds on another form of serialization for the preexisting class. > Remove WritableJobConf > ----------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-4293 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4293 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mapred > Affects Versions: 0.19.0 > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assignee: Owen O'Malley > Fix For: 0.19.0 > > Attachments: 4293-2.patch, 4293.patch > > > The new class WritableJobConf doesn't add value over just making JobConf > Writable, and I propose that we remove it before it is released. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
