Amareshwari Sriramadasu commented on HADOOP-3150:
-------------------------------------------------

Commit of side files can be supported by _static_ commit method in 
FileOutputFormat. Then task commit can include OutputFormat's commit and side 
file's commit. Also, cleaning up _\_temporary_ directory at the end of the job 
needs to be static.

bq. My vote goes to the option of maintaining the current semantics of the the 
providing the api to get the directory where the user can create the 
side-files. It creates less api churn, also is more amenable to Hadoop Pipes 
and such others.
SideFile creation in Pipes is still supported by configuration property 
_mapred.work.output.dir_


> Move task file promotion into the task
