-------------------------------------

             Summary: JavaPairRDD should supply a saveAsNewHadoopDataset which 
takes a Job object 
                 Key: SPARK-4320
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-4320
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Input/Output, Spark Core
            Reporter: Corey J. Nolet
             Fix For: 1.1.1, 1.2.0


I am outputting data to Accumulo using a custom outputformat. I have tried 
using saveAsNewHadoopFile() and that works- though passing an empty path is a 
bit weird. Being that it isn't really a file I'm store, but rather a dataset, 
I'd be inclined to use the saveAsHadoopDataset() method, though I'm not at all 
interested in using the legacy mapred API.

Perhaps we could supply a saveAsNewHadoopDateset method. Personally, I think 
there should be two ways of calling into this method. Instead of needing to set 
up the Job object explicitly, I'm in the camp of having the following method 
signature:

saveAsNewHadoopDataset(keyClass : Class[K], valueClass : Class[V], ofclass : 
Class[? extends OutputFormat], conf : Configuration). This way, if I'm writing 
spark jobs that are going from Hadoop back into Hadoop, I can construct my 
Configuration once.

Perhaps an overloaded method signature could be:

saveAsNewHadoopDataset(job : Job)
