Change modifier of SequenceFile.CompressedBytes and
SequenceFile.UncompressedBytes from private to public
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-5553
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5553
Project: Hadoop Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: He Yongqiang
SequenceFile.rawValue() provides the only interface to navigate the underlying
bytes. And with some little work on implementing a customized ValueBytes can
avoid reading all bytes into memory. Unfortunately, the current nextRawValue
will cast the passing ValueBytes to either private class CompressedBytes or
private class UnCompressedBytes, this will disallow user further extension.
I can not see any reason that CompressedBytes and UnCompressedBytes should be
set to private. And since the ValueBytes is public and nextValue() casts it to
either CompressedBytes or UnCompressedBytes, i think it would be better if they
are public.
I am stuck now by this issue, really appracited if this got resolved as soon as
possible.
