Sharad Agarwal commented on HADOOP-5833:
----------------------------------------
The current patch does not compile as it references the super from a static
method.
Also, OutputFormat.setOutputPath is a static method and it sets the output path
on the job configuration as expected. The child classes don't need to override
this functionality.
> SequenceFileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(Job,Path) should set the Output Format
> Class to SequenceFileOutputFormat

>
> The documentation references that OutputFormat.setOutputPath(Job,Path) sets
> the job up appropriately. However, that's not the case for
> SequenceFileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(Job,Path). This has tripped up more
> than one new user. SequenceFileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(Job,Path) should
> call both the superclass method as well as
> job.setOutputFormatClass(SequenceFileOutputFormat.class);
