Fabian Hueske commented on FLINK-1834:
--------------------------------------
I would be careful with this. Do we know where we should default to?
If an OutputFormat does not require an output path we do not need to set it at
all and if it does, it should be set by the user, IMO.
> 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
