Alejandro Abdelnur commented on HADOOP-2055:
--------------------------------------------

Having a static method on the FileInputFormat it would make difficult for an 
application that dispatches hadoop jobs (ie a webapp) to set filters on per job 
basis.

IMO, it should be configurable at job level.


> JobConf should have a setInputPathFilter(PathFilter filter) method
