-----------------------------------
Hi Josh - are you still working on this? I might have a go at a patch if I find
some free time as I'd really like this feature included. Any chance you could
share the patch you already had so I can get an idea of how you were thinking?
> Repeated runs result in duplicated output data
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CRUNCH-132
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CRUNCH-132
> Project: Crunch
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.4.0
> Reporter: Dave Beech
> Assignee: Josh Wills
>
> Usually when you run a mapreduce job and the output directory already exists,
> the job fails (won't start). A Crunch job does run, but results in the output
> data being duplicated in the output directory with numbered files that follow
> on from the previous run.
> Example
> Run 1, single reducer /output -> /output/part-r-00000
> Run 2, single reducer /output -> /output/part-r-00000, /output/part-r-00001
> I didn't realise I'd run my job twice, so when I looked in the directory it
> seemed that there had been 2 reducers and somehow the output had been
> generated twice, which was confusing.
> I realise this may be by design, but it feels wrong to me. I'd prefer if the
> behaviour of a standard mapreduce job was preserved.
