>                 Key: MAPREDUCE-1842
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1842
>             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: job submission
>    Affects Versions: 0.20.2
>            Reporter: Age Mooij

> We have some code that uses serialization to store org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.JobID instances (among other things). Since org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.JobID is not serializable, we store the String representation and use org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.JobID.forName(String) to read it back.
> Unfortunately the instance created by that method is not equal to the same id as created by the constructor. Here's a unit test for the problem:
> @Test
> public void forNameCopyShouldProduceInstanceEqualToOriginal() {
>     JobID jobId1 = new JobID("original", 1);
>     JobID jobId2 = JobID.forName(jobId1.toString());
>     assertEquals(jobId1, jobId2);
> }
> forName(String) produces a backwards compatible instance from the old mapred package but the equals method shared by them both uses this.getClass() == that.getClass() and that causes the incompatible instances.
> I know this backwards compatible stuff is important but could you please fix this ? The simplest fix would be to change the implementation of equals() or override it in the backwards compatibillity version of JobID in the old mapred package
