thank you for your so quick reply. You mean the job result is saved under this directory ? This reminds me another question. When I use hwi, the result is saved under the conf directory by default, do you know how the change the default directory, it seems that I didn't find any parameter related to this in the config file.

I think it is supposed to remove the temp. hadoop results from this dir but it doesn't seem to do that anymore. For now I use a workaround to simply remove anything from there older then x days however that still means you have results from really large jobs laying around there for x days.
