Robert Joseph Evans commented on MAPREDUCE-3982: ------------------------------------------------ That would not really work. The directory structure is the following. <OUTPUT>/_temporary/<ATTEMPT_ID>/... The problem was that the code assumed that <OUTPUT>/_temporary/<ATTEMPT_ID>/ was being created by the individual map/reduce tasks. If it was not then other code would blowup, so instead of just creating <OUTPUT>/_temporary in the setup from before we are now creating <OUTPUT>/_temporary/<ATTEMPT_ID>/ When we clean up from a job we still want to completely remove the _temporary directory, not just <OUTPUT>/_temporary/<ATTEMPT_ID>/ or there will be an extra directory sitting around in the <OUTPUT> directory that will cause other problems. > TestEmptyJob fails with FileNotFound > ------------------------------------ > > Key: MAPREDUCE-3982 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-3982 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mrv2 > Affects Versions: 0.24.0, 0.23.2 > Reporter: Robert Joseph Evans > Assignee: Robert Joseph Evans > Priority: Critical > Attachments: MR-3982.txt > > > TestEmptyJob fails because teh FileOutputCommitter expects a directory to be > created that is not created.
