Description

Currently it is not possible to create a SequenceFile.Writer using a block size other than the default.

The createWriter() method should be overloaded with a signature receiving block size as parameter should be added to the the SequenceFile class.

With all the current signatures for this method there is a significant code duplication, if possible the createWriter() methods should be refactored to avoid such duplication.
