Jothi Padmanabhan commented on HADOOP-4927:
-------------------------------------------
True, this feature can be achieved by modifying RecordWriter implementations.
But that would mean people who have their own implementations would need to add
it themselves, see Devaraj's
[comment|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4927?focusedCommentId=12658455#action_12658455]
Also, this feature is a sort of generic across the different output formats
and having the framework support this would be useful. No?
> Part files on the output filesystem are created irrespective of whether the
> corresponding task has anything to write there

> When OutputFormat.getRecordWriter is invoked, a part file is created on the
> output filesystem. But the created RecordWriter is not used until the
> OutputCollector.collect call is made by the task (user's code). This results
> in empty part files even if the OutputCollector.collect is never invoked by
> the corresponding tasks.
