Ravi Gummadi updated MAPREDUCE-1979:
------------------------------------
Attachment: 1979.v1.1.patch
Attaching new patch removing the special check for the default output path
existence.
There are many checks that can be done and can be done in a separate JIRA(as
they is not relevant here). Raised MAPREDUCE-2006 to handle these validations.

> "Output directory already exists" error is seen in gridmix when
> gridmix.output.directory is not defined. When gridmix.output.directory is not
> defined, then gridmix uses inputDir/gridmix/ as output path for gridmix run.
> Because gridmix is creating outputPath(in this case, inputDir/gridmix/) at
> the begining, the output path to generate-data-mapreduce-job(i.e. inputDir)
> already exists and becomes error from mapreduce.
> There is no need of creating this outputPath in any case(whether user
> specifies the path using gridmix.output.directory OR gridmix itself
> considering inputDir/gridmix/ ) because the paths are automatically created
> for output paths of mapreduce jobs(like mkdir -p).
