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
