Anyone know if there's any particular reason why the new Partitioner class doesn't implement JobConfigurable? (And, if not, whether there's any plans to fix this omission?) We're working on a somewhat complex partitioner, and it would be extremely helpful to be able to pass it some parms via the jobconf.
The short answer is that it doesn't need to. If you make your partitioner either Configured or JobConfigurable, it will be configured. The API class doesn't depend on it precisely because it is not required for all partitioners.
