Nikolai Grigoriev commented on HBASE-16383:
-------------------------------------------
OK, I think I see the point. I have just realized that other API classes in
mapreduce package use Job. I agree with what you said about Oozie. Thanks.
> TableMapReduceUtil should allow using JobConf, not Job

> I was recently trying to set up an MR job initialized with TableMapReduceUtil
> to be ran by Oozie. Oozie offers a way to configure the job by providing an
> implementation of org.apache.oozie.action.hadoop.OozieActionConfigurator.
> Unfortunately, this interface is using org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConf, not
> Job. I may be wrong but I believe that everything TableMapReduceUtil does
> actually maps to the job configuration so it does not really need the Job
> itself. If this is true, probably it would be more appropriate to use JobConf
> in TableMapReduceUtil instead of Job? Or provide the methods for both.
