[jira] [Created] (ACCUMULO-700) Improve iterator configuration for MapReduces

Billie Rinaldi created ACCUMULO-700:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: Improve iterator configuration for MapReduces
                 Key: ACCUMULO-700
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-700
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: client
            Reporter: Billie Rinaldi
            Assignee: Billie Rinaldi
             Fix For: 1.5.0


The InputFormatBase currently uses AccumuloIterator and AccumuloIteratorOption configuration objects to serialize iterator information for MapReduce.  These objects predate IteratorSetting, which is now used to configure iterators.  We should just make IteratorSetting Writable so it can be used directly for serializing iterator information.

-----------------------------------------

Will there be a tool that can convert the representations into human-readable form?

-------------------------------------

I would see no reason not to Writable the settings. We got bit by such issues back in 1.3 land with the old InputFormat.

Could expose a static method or main() which calls a toString on the serialized IteratorSetting via bin/accumulo to satisfy David's request.

-----------------------------------------

If we configure iterators using, say, comma-separated base64-encoded representations of IteratorSettings, a potential disadvantage is that the iterator information will no longer be readable in the job configuration.  Does anyone need this to remain readable?
