Tom White commented on MAPREDUCE-954: ------------------------------------- Only marginally relevant to this discussion, but I noticed that the (existing) Mapper.Context object in MapTask is constructed via reflection. I think it's possible to create one directly like this: {code} Mapper mapper = ... Mapper.Context mapperContext = mapper.new Context(...); {code} Same for Reducer.Context. > The new interface's Context objects should be interfaces > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-954 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-954 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: client > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assignee: Arun C Murthy > Fix For: 0.21.0 > > Attachments: MAPREDUCE-954.patch, MAPREDUCE-954.patch, > MAPREDUCE-954.patch > > > When I was doing HADOOP-1230, I was persuaded to make the Context objects as > classes. I think that was a serious mistake. It caused a lot of information > leakage into the public classes. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
