Hey,

     The reason I was looking for this is because whether I write them to 
different directories, or the same directories, I have to distcp them all to 
the same s3 bucket for downstream processing to function properly, so I need to 
make sure that the file names don’t overlap.  So to get this to work, it sounds 
like my options would be the following:

·        Have the client move the files to a common directory with names I want 
using FileSystem calls

·        Write a shell script that Oozie calls to do the same thing as the 
previous option, but with dfs calls.

·        Write an additional crunch job, which will load the output from the 
previous four jobs and union the results.

Does that sounds about right?

Thanks,
     Dave

Subject: Re: Output file prefix

Hey David,

There isn't a way to muck w/the file output prefix on a per-collection basis. 
Would something like a PathPerKeyTarget work for this situation, where you 
would have four keys for the different output directories and could sort of 
union together the PTable<String, Whatever> instances that you needed to create 
on a particular run?

Hey everyone,

     I thought I remembered seeing something in the docs about being able to 
set a prefix for output files from a collection, but I am having trouble 
finding it now.  Does that exist?

    I am trying to break up a large job that had four parallel threads of 
execution on different data sets, that all fed one output set into four 
separate jobs to make it easier to rerun only one of the input sets in the 
event something goes wrong, and this would make it a lot easier to deal with 
getting the output all into one directory.

Thanks,
     Dave
