@jbrennan333 what do you think we should say instead of deprecated? "not recommended". I was thinking of adding a link to the JIRA and changing the issue text there to clarify * safe if names and content of generated output files is consistent across all task attempts * unsafe if different TAs generate bad files (biggest risk, as partial failure of 1st attempt may leave) * unsafe if different TAs generate different content in same files (only an issue on a network partition and TA #1 generates output as/after TA #2 does its work. cleanup of job will delete the whole job attempt dir so that's the maximum time that a partitioned TA may commit work. There's no risk of some VM pausing for 3 hours, restarting and an in progress TA completing its work and overwriting the final output. This is good. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
