             Summary: Add an append method to IFile which does not check for RLE
                 Key: TEZ-1275
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TEZ-1275
             Project: Apache Tez
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Siddharth Seth


The RLE and same key checks are primarily required for sorted output.
For the unordered case - these checks should not be hit (and will almost always return false).

I believe longer term, the plan is to have only a single method - which does not have the checks, and move all the key comparison and equality logic over to users of IFile - which would end up calling appendKV on new keys, and append(V/List<V>) for repeated values.
