Juan Moreno commented on MAPREDUCE-1183:
----------------------------------------

Yes Please! I have been dying for this feature. This is similar to the way Storm handles Job creation and submission. The instances serve as prototypes to be distributed across the cluster. Further, this would allow for dynamic submission of jobs. Thus, the JobClient should be changed to accept a dynamically created JobConf.

> Currently the Map-Reduce framework uses Configuration to pass information about the various aspects of a job such as Mapper, Reducer, InputFormat, OutputFormat, OutputCommitter etc. and application developers use org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Job.set*Class apis to set them at job-submission time:
> {noformat}
> Job.setMapperClass(IdentityMapper.class);
> Job.setReducerClass(IdentityReducer.class);
> Job.setInputFormatClass(TextInputFormat.class);
> Job.setOutputFormatClass(TextOutputFormat.class);
> ...
> {noformat}
> The proposal is that we move to a model where end-users interact with org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Job via actual objects which are then serialized by the framework:
> {noformat}
> Job.setMapper(new IdentityMapper());
> Job.setReducer(new IdentityReducer());
> Job.setInputFormat(new TextInputFormat("in"));
> Job.setOutputFormat(new TextOutputFormat("out"));
> ...
> {noformat}
