Gabriel Reid commented on CRUNCH-132:
-------------------------------------

The idea of having it on Pipeline.write sounds good to. I also like the idea of 
having a way of setting it for the pipeline as a whole.

I guess in terms of interface this could just be an enumeration with the 
various options, and it would just mean an overload of the write method and a 
new method on Pipeline, which means pretty minor changes to the API as a whole 
and perfect backwards compatibility.

> Usually when you run a mapreduce job and the output directory already exists, 
> the job fails (won't start). A Crunch job does run, but results in the output 
> data being duplicated in the output directory with numbered files that follow 
> on from the previous run. 
> Example
> Run 1, single reducer /output -> /output/part-r-00000
> Run 2, single reducer /output -> /output/part-r-00000, /output/part-r-00001
> I didn't realise I'd run my job twice, so when I looked in the directory it 
> seemed that there had been 2 reducers and somehow the output had been 
> generated twice, which was confusing. 
> I realise this may be by design, but it feels wrong to me. I'd prefer if the 
> behaviour of a standard mapreduce job was preserved.
