Xuefu Zhang commented on PIG-5316: ---------------------------------- [~nkollar], while it might be just an placeholder, it's used to create staging scratch or staging directories. I think we should follow the custom format of a task id. You might want to check Pig code where this is set. As another reference, you can find how Hive on Spark sets it in {{HivePairFlatMapFunction.jara}}. > Initialize mapred.task.id property for PoS jobs > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-5316 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-5316 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: spark > Reporter: Adam Szita > Assignee: Nandor Kollar > > Some downstream systems may require the presence of {{mapred.task.id}} > property (e.g. HCatalog). This is currently not set when Pig On Spark jobs > are started. Let's initialise it. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
