> Speaking to the hadoop team folks, the direction in hadoop is to use Job
> instead of Configuration - for example InputFormat/OutputFormat
> implementations use Job to store input/output location. So pig should also do
> the same in LoadMetadata and StoreMetadata to be closer to hadoop.
> Currently when a job fails, pig assumes the output locations (corresponding
> to the stores in the job) are hdfs locations and attempts to delete them.
> Since output locations could be non hdfs locations, this cleanup should be
> delegated to the StoreFuncInterface implementation - hence a new method -
> cleanupOnFailure() should be introduced in StoreFuncInterface and a default
> implementation should be provided in the StoreFunc abstract class which
> checks if the location exists on hdfs and deletes it if so.
