Arun C Murthy commented on HADOOP-1226: --------------------------------------- <code> private Path getTaskOutputPath(JobConf conf) { return new Path(conf.getOutputPath(), ("_" + taskId)); } </code> That is how taskOutputPath is created, and thus should be an absolute path. I'm not quite sure, looking at TestMiniMRWithDFS.launchWordCount atleast, how this could result in a relative path... not-fully-qualified maybe, but not relative. Anyway, the short answer is making taskOutputPath fully-qualified shouldn't be a problem. > Also, taskOutputPath stuff is reduce specific, so if anywhere, it belongs in > ReduceTask, no? This also comes into play with 'reducer -NONE' where map outputs need to go directly to dfs... Urelated note: +1 to moving that code from mapred kernel to the OutputFormatBase. > makeQualified should return an instance of a DfsPath when passed a DfsPath > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-1226 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1226 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Bug > Components: dfs > Reporter: Koji Noguchi > Assigned To: dhruba borthakur > Fix For: 0.14.0 > > Attachments: makeQualified2.patch > > > Currently, it returns a instance of a Path. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
