Radim Kolar commented on MAPREDUCE-3772:
----------------------------------------
-1. You should fix root cause of this problem instead of documenting why it
could not be done.
> MultipleOutputs output lost if baseOutputPath starts with ../

> Key: MAPREDUCE-3772
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-3772
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: client
> Affects Versions: 0.20.2
> Reporter: Radim Kolar
> Assignee: Harsh J
> Attachments: MAPREDUCE-3772.patch

>
> Lets say you have output directory set:
> FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job, "/tmp/multi1/out");
> and want to place output from MultipleOutputs into /tmp/multi1/extra
> I expect following code to work:
> mos = new MultipleOutputs<Text, IntWritable>(context);
> mos.write(new Text("zrr"), value, "../extra/");
> but no Exception is throw and expected output directory /tmp/multi1/extra
> does not even exists. All data written to this output vanish without trace.
> To make it work fullpath must be used
> mos.write(new Text("zrr"), value, "/tmp/multi1/extra/");
> Output is listed in statistics from MultipleOutputs correctly:
> org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.lib.output.MultipleOutputs
> ../gaja1/=13333 (* everything is lost *)
> /tmp/multi1/out/../ksd34/=13333 (* this using full path works
> *)
