Re: FileOutputFormat.getWorkOutputPath and map-to-reduce-only side-effect files

[sharad agarwal]

Any suggestions, short of deleting them after the job completes?
which version of hadoop you are using? hadoop 0.19 has an api called 
JobConf.setOutputCommitter see 
http://hadoop.apache.org/core/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/OutputCommitter.html 
via which you can do the clean up work at the end of the job.
