Francis Liu commented on HCATALOG-60:
-------------------------------------
Minutes of meeting:
-For the OutputFormatContainer having HCatRecord as the Value type. Agreed as
correct since this is what users are expected to pass and
StorageDriver.convert() is exptected to consume.
-Description of this refactoring in a nutshell is:HCatOutputFormat,
HCatRecordWriter, HCatOutputCommitter has been renamed to
FileOutputFormatContainer,etc and a new thin HCatOutputFormat encapsulates the
Container class delegating all calls to the underlying container (ie
getRecordWriter, getOutputCommitter)
-code path is essentially identical except for some changes such as moving
output directory validation to OutputFormat.checkOutputSpecs()
> Refactor HCatalog to support non-filebased outputformats

> Some table sources have no need for paths (ie HBase) and thus
> JobInfo.location may be null. Looks like commitJob was trying to do a test
> before acting on the location but buggy. abortJob does not have such check.
