Writing map output files to local file system

[Yair Even-Zohar]

Can I write the output of the map processes directly to a local
files-system without the need to use copyToLocal? 

I'm trying the following but the map reduce still writes the output to
the HDFS  path

 

RawLocalFileSystem rlfs = new RawLocalFileSystem();

rlfs.setWorkingDirectory(new Path("/home/hadoop/test")); 

FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(c, rlfs.getWorkingDirectory());

 

 

Identical to when I was using:

 

FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(c, new Path("/home/hadoop/test"));

 

 

Thanks
