[jira] [Updated] (SPARK-12214) Spark to provide an API to save user-defined metadata as part of Sequence File header

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-12214?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Naveen Pishe updated SPARK-12214:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
There is requirement to save "user-defined" Metadata as part of Sequence File "Header" using Spark. 

To write a User-defined metadata as part of Sequence File using regular Hadoop API's I pass the metadata object to SequenceFile.Writer constructor which when creates a SequenceFile ensures the metadata is part of the sequence file header.

Currently Spark's JavaPairRDD Api provides methods to save an RDD to an SequenceFile format, but I don't see any API which can either give the SequenceFile.writer or a method where in I can pass the user-defined metadata so as to be written as part of sequence file header.

The enhancement request an API to implement the same

Creating a Union of two RDD (header + data) and saving as Sequence file is not a solution as its not a header. Is there any way I can achieve the same.
