    Hmm, interesting. But there is an API in 2.3:
    
    ```
    DataWriter<T> createDataWriter(int partitionId, int attemptNumber);
    ```
    
    Which I guess would still suffer from the problem Ryan describes in the 
bug. In any case, that makes it not possible to cleanly backport this, so we 
can make the type change here.
