Map/Reduce job with SequenceFileOutputFormat should be able to add user
specified metadata to the output file
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-957
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-957
Project: Hadoop
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Runping Qi
When creating a map/reduce job with SequenceFileFormat,
the user would like to add some metada to the output files automatically.
In particular, if the output value class was a JuteRecord class generated from
a Jute IDL,
we would like to add JUTE_IDL/IDL_STRING as a attribute/value pair of the
metadata.
This way, the output files will be self describing:
When an application that tries to use the files may not have the value class
with it.
But the application can use Jute tool to generate the classes on demand.
Or better yet, the SequenceFile record reader may be able to do that
automatically.
