Hi Kannan, As I know the shuffle Id in ShuffleDependency will be increased, so even if you run the same job twice, the shuffle dependency as well as shuffle id is different, so the shuffle file name which is combined by (shuffleId+mapId+reduceId) will be changed, so there's no name conflict even in the same directory as I know.
