Question about length of ActionDispatch::Routing::Mapper class file

+1 vote
340 views

Our team lead and I recently discussed the pros and cons of breaking up a long source file into multiple source files. I tend to prefer one class per file, because I find the individual files easier to read and easier to find (with ctrl-p in Sublime). On the other hand, our team lead doesnt have issues with long source files. He argues that they are quite common in open-source projects. As an example, he pointed to the ActionDispatch::Routing::Mapper class in Rails as a case of a long file with multiple inline classes.

I am curious to learn the intent behind keeping all the contents of Mapper class within a single file. What were the advantages of taking this approach?

on my case, my reason is simple. I edit a single responsibility, easy for my brain and easy for my tests.

Also I don't buy that argument (it has no argument really); the rails source is not a god : )

Choose what you think is easy for you, why you think it's easy, then justify, demonstrate it.

How to access value of variable in Driver class which has been declared and modified inside Mapper class?

I declared a variable and incremented/modified it inside Mapper class. Now I need to use the modified value of that variable in Driver class. I declared a static variable inside Mapper class and its modified value works in Driver class when I run the code in Eclipse IDE. But after creating that code as a runable jar from Eclipse and run jar file as “$ hadoop jar filename.jar input output” modified value does not reflect (value is 0) in Driver class.
