> All of the getters on AccumuloInputFormat and AccumuloOutputFormat are
> protected which prevent clients from accessing them. This is not ideal as it
> prevents users from introspecting the Configuration to know what values are
> set within the Configuration. Because elements like the concrete
> Input/OutputFormat class name is included in the Configuration key, this is
> very obtuse to try to debug.
> The reason this was done is that we often support multiple types of setters
> which accept a variety of method arguments for different reasons (backwards
> compat, usually).
> I recommend that we provide a single getter to allow users to better debug
> their mapreduce code. Most likely, the object returned would be the object
> that is currently reccomended to be used in the public API (e.g. a
> PasswordToken would be returned even when a user provided a plain String
> password).
