I'm using a SequenceFileOutputFormat. But I'd like to be able to set some

Doesn't look like there's any easy way to do that, other than overriding
the SequenceFileOutputFormat.getRecordWriter() method.
Am I overlooking anything?
Doesn't seem like you are on a wrong path, so don't worry and go ahead!
P.s.: A reply by Tom White to a similar question:

On a similar note, it looks like if I want to customize the name/path of
the generated SequenceFile my only option currently is to override
FileOutputFormat.getDefaultWorkFile().
a) Again, have I got this correct, or am I overlooking something?
b) Would anyone else agree that this is something that can/should be
made easier? (And thus worthy of a bug report?)
Thanks,
