Harsh J commented on MAPREDUCE-4851:
------------------------------------
I feel all your proposed "setup and cleanup" method addition work may as well
go to a single JIRA cause they all almost border on making interface changes -
and seem to have common motives (just spring again, or is there also a valid
usecase to have a cleanup method behind a simple class such as a comparator?).
> add lifecycle to Comparators

> current mapreduce api is using RawComparator interface in:
> setGroupingComparatorClass
> setSortComparatorClass
> This interface has no lifecycle support. I propose to change that methods to
> take argument new class implements RawComparator with setup and cleanup
> methods.
> This will leave existing code with RawComparator alone, Providing some
> backward compatibility.
> new class:
> class SortComparator implements RawComparator
