> Pig creates temp files that it wants to be removed at the end of the 
> processing. The code that removes the temp file is in the shutdown hook so 
> that they get removed both under normal shutdown as well as when process gets 
> killed.
> The problem that we are seeing is that by the time the code is called the DFS 
> might already be closed and the delete fails leaving temp files behind. Since 
> we have no control over the shutdown order, we have no way to make sure that 
> the files get removed.
> One way to solve this issue is to be able to mark the files as temp files so 
> that hadoop can remove them during its shutdown.
> The stack trace I am seeing is
> at org.apache.hadoop.dfs.DFSClient.checkOpen(DFSClient.java:158)
>         at org.apache.hadoop.dfs.DFSClient.delete(DFSClient.java:417)
>         at 
> org.apache.hadoop.dfs.DistributedFileSystem.delete(DistributedFileSystem.java:144)
>         at 
> org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.datastorage.HPath.delete(HPath.java:96)
>         at org.apache.pig.impl.io.FileLocalizer$1.run(FileLocalizer.java:275)
