Dustin Cote updated MAPREDUCE-6357:
-----------------------------------
Status: Open (was: Patch Available)
> MultipleOutputs.write() API should document that output committing is not
> utilized when input path is absolute
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MAPREDUCE-6357
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-6357
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: documentation
> Affects Versions: 2.6.0
> Reporter: Ivan Mitic
> Assignee: Dustin Cote
> Attachments: MAPREDUCE-6357-1.patch
>
>
> After spending the afternoon debugging a user job where reduce tasks were
> failing on retry with the below exception, I think it would be worthwhile to
> add a note in the MultipleOutputs.write() documentation, saying that absolute
> paths may cause improper execution of tasks on retry or when MR speculative
> execution is enabled.

> As discussed in MAPREDUCE-3772, when the baseOutputPath passed to
> MultipleOutputs.write() is an absolute path (or more precisely a path that
> resolves outside of the job output-dir), the concept of output committing is
> not utilized.
> In this case, the user read thru the MultipleOutputs docs and was assuming
> that everything will be working fine, as there are blog posts saying that
> MultipleOutputs does handle output commit.
