Task controller may not set permissions for a task cleanup attempt's log 
directory

                 Key: MAPREDUCE-1607
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1607
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: task-controller
            Reporter: Hemanth Yamijala


Task controller uses the INITIALIZE_TASK command to initialize task attempt and 
task log directories. For cleanup tasks, task attempt directories are named as 
task-attempt-id.cleanup. But log directories do not have the .cleanup suffix. 
The task controller is not aware of this distinction and tries to set 
permissions for log directories named task-attempt-id.cleanup. This is a NO-OP. 
Typically the task cleanup runs on the same node that ran the original task 
attempt as well. So, the task log directories are already properly initialized. 
However, the task cleanup can run on a node that has not run the original task 
attempt. In that case, the initialization would not happen and this could 
result in the cleanup task failing.
