> Some potential issues with RCFile
> 1. Remove unwanted synchronized modifiers on the methods of RCFile. As per yongqiang he, the class is not meant to be thread-safe (and it is not). Might as well get rid of the confusing and performance-impacting lock acquisitions.
> 2. Record Length overstated for compressed files. IIUC, the key compression happens after we have written the record length.
> {code}
>       int keyLength = key.getSize();
>       if (keyLength < 0) {
>         throw new IOException("negative length keys not allowed: " + key);
>       }
>       out.writeInt(keyLength + valueLength); // total record length
>       out.writeInt(keyLength); // key portion length
>       if (!isCompressed()) {
>         out.writeInt(keyLength);
>         key.write(out); // key
>       } else {
>         keyCompressionBuffer.reset();
>         keyDeflateFilter.resetState();
>         key.write(keyDeflateOut);
>         keyDeflateOut.flush();
>         keyDeflateFilter.finish();
>         int compressedKeyLen = keyCompressionBuffer.getLength();
>         out.writeInt(compressedKeyLen);
>         out.write(keyCompressionBuffer.getData(), 0, compressedKeyLen);
>       }
> {code}
> 3. For sequence file compatibility, the compressed key length should be the next field to record length, not the uncompressed key length.
