Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-4187: --------------------------------------- Just to be clear, the problem is that core/**/utils/ReflectionUtils references mapred/**/mapred/JobConf and JobConfigurable. Clearly before the subprojects split, this needs to be removed. We need a solution for 0.20, so we can't just ignore the problem, unfortunately. I'd suggest that: 1. We make a package private mapred.ReflectionUtils that uses JobConf and JobConfigurable. 2. Make the callers in mapred call it. > Create a MapReduce-specific ReflectionUtils that handles JobConf and > JobConfigurable > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-4187 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4187 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Tom White > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
