> Project: Hadoop Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Query Processor

> Fix For: 0.3.0

>
> For some Hive stuff, I ran into the following scenario:
> For a given map-reduce job, the input was empty. Because of that no mappers
> and reducers were created. It would have been helpful if an empty output for
> the reducer would have been created.
> After browsing though the code, it seems that in initTasks() in
> JobInProgress, no mappers and reducers are initialized if input is empty.
> I was thinking of putting a fix there. If the input is empty, before
> returning, create the output directory (as specified by the reducer) if
> needed.Any comments/suggestions....
