[jira] Created: (MAPREDUCE-1486) Configuration data should be preserved within the same MapTask

Configuration data should be preserved within the same MapTask
--------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MAPREDUCE-1486
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1486
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: task
            Reporter: Aaron Kimball
            Assignee: Aaron Kimball


Map tasks involve a number of Contexts -- at least a TaskAttemptContext and a MapContext. These context objects contain a Configuration each; when one context is initialized, it initializes its own Configuration by deep-copying a previous Configuration.

If one Context instance is used entirely prior to a second, more specific Context then the second Context should contain the configuration data initialized in the previous Context. This specifically affects the interaction between an InputFormat and its RecordReader instance(s).
