On a similar note, it looks like if I want to customize the name/path of

Ugh. Actually, this looks even worse than I thought.
It looks like there's a bunch of static helper methods in
FileOutputFormat which use methods other than getDefaultWorkFile() to
determine the file name.
It looks like most of them use the method getUniqueFile(). Problem is
that getUniqueFile is a *static* method, so I can't override it with an
alternate implementation.
Anyone know any short way out of this conundrum without my having to
completely reimplement chunks of FileOutputFormat/StateFileOutputFormat?
Thanks,
