[jira] [Commented] (MAPREDUCE-3715) FileSplit's Writable implementation discards hosts information

["Harsh J (Commented) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-3715?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13192038#comment-13192038 ] 

Harsh J commented on MAPREDUCE-3715:
------------------------------------

We store out the locations separately during submission anyway, so I guess this was done for saving the size of metadata written during submission. It has been this way since 0.18.

We can document it, but were you looking for location info from inside a record reader? How were you planning to use it?

> If this is intended then it should be documented very clearly.  But it looks more like an oversight to me.
