Tom White commented on MAPREDUCE-370:
-------------------------------------
Could the counter name be based on the named output, rather than the base
filename?
bq. if user doesn't give unique name for the output file, there are chances
that output will be garbled.
This is true, but like MultipleOutputFormat it would be up to the application
to give unique names to the output files. Most users would use the simpler form
that takes a named output and lets MultipleOutputs construct the output
filename {{{namedOutput}-(m|r)-{part-number}}}, but this change I'm proposing
would allow advanced users to control the precise filename of the outputs.
> Change org.apache.hadoop.mapred.lib.MultipleOutputs to use new api.
