void appendFileInfo(byte[] key,
                  byte[] value)
                    throws IOException

Add an element to the file info map.

void append(KeyValue kv)
            throws IOException

void append(byte[] key,
          byte[] value)
            throws IOException

void append(byte[] key,
          byte[] value,
          byte[] tag)
            throws IOException

addInlineBlockWriter
```
void addInlineBlockWriter(InlineBlockWriter bloomWriter)
```
Adds an inline block writer such as a multi-level block index writer or a compound Bloom filter writer.

void appendMetaBlock(String bloomFilterMetaKey,
                   org.apache.hadoop.io.Writable metaWriter)

addGeneralBloomFilter
```
void addGeneralBloomFilter(BloomFilterWriter bfw)
```
Store general Bloom filter in the file. This does not deal with Bloom filter internals but is necessary, since Bloom filters are stored differently in HFile version 1 and version 2.

getFileContext
```
HFileContext getFileContext()
```
Return the file context for the HFile this writer belongs to
