Description

There are too many SequenceFile.createWriter() method signatures. This method has two required paramters: a Configuration and a Path. It has one obsolete parameter: a FileSystem. And it has five optional parameters: CompressionType, CompressionCodec, Progress, replication, and metadata.

We should remove the obsolete parameter and make all optional parameters into setters.
