[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-673?page=comments#action_12446772 ] Dick King commented on HADOOP-673: ----------------------------------
If you create links from the task-specific directory to the per-job-directory files and make the task-specific directory you'll avoid breaking existing code. This assumes people don't write in the per-job-directory but it's tough to do that in a principled manner so I wouldn't expect that to happen. > the task execution environment should have a current working directory that > is task specific > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-673 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-673 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mapred > Affects Versions: 0.7.2 > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assigned To: Owen O'Malley > Fix For: 0.9.0 > > > The tasks should be run in a work directory that is specific to a single > task. In particular, I'd suggest using the <local>/jobcache/<jobid>/<taskid> > as the current working directory. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
