MapFile.Reader/Writer

Is there a reason why MapFile.Reader/Writer constructors take a String for
dirName instead of a Path?  This seems inconsistent with
SequenceFile.Reader/Writer.

Also the order of arguments changes (conf then fs, or fs then conf).

I suppose these might just be backwards compat reasons?
