Maximilian Michels commented on FLINK-1834: ------------------------------------------- Let's check if the user's Hadoop configuration contains {{mapred.output.dir}} via {{HadoopUtils.getHadoopConfiguration()}}. Otherwise, set a default with a warning which also contains the output path to which we default. Do you want to fix that? > Is mapred.output.dir conf parameter really required? > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-1834 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1834 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Hadoop Compatibility > Affects Versions: 0.9 > Reporter: Flavio Pompermaier > Priority: Minor > Labels: hadoop > > At the moment if you don't set mapred.output.dir parameter when output to an > hadoop sink Flink throws an error. Probably this parameter could be defaulted > to some tmp dir + jobId (for each output sink). > For example, when output to an HBase sink, the only things you'll find in the > mapred.output.dir will be the SUCCESS files -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
