>
> MultipleOutputFormat's RecordWriter implementation doesn't use
> synchronization when accessing the recordWriters member. When using
> multithreaded mappers or reducers, this can result in problems where two
> threads will both try to create the same file, causing
> AlreadyBeingCreatedException. Doing this more fine-grained than just
> synchronizing the whole method is probably a good idea, so that multithreaded
> mappers can actually achieve parallelism writing into separate output streams.
> From what I can tell, the new API's MultipleOutputs seems not to have this
> issue.
