Dmitriy V. Ryaboy commented on PIG-911:
---------------------------------------

Concerning making this a StoreFunc, as well -- the StoreFunc interface is not 
very friendly to this.
All you get in the bind call is the output stream; for LoadFunc, you also get 
the name of the file (or, presumably, whatever it was the user passed in under 
the guise of a file name).  This means that for the LoadFunc, I was able to use 
the passed in filename to back into a Path and a FileSystem.  I can't do the 
same for StoreFunc, where the filename is not available -- only the output 
stream is.  That means I can't create the appropriate SequenceFile.Writer .  Is 
there a way around this limitation that does not involve requiring special 
constructor parameters to be used?  
Is it possible to change the StoreFunc api to provide this information, or to 
make it available through some side channel (MapRedUtils or similar)?
