---------------------------------------

I'm sorry, I still think this is the wrong direction. I've been putting it off
trying to think up a reasonable alternative, but this is just too limited and
confusing to the user to be useful. In particular, this change can't fix
HADOOP-1416, which is very strongly related it it.
I'll try and work out a proposal for what we could move OutputFormat too.
> changes to OutputFormat to work on temporary directory to enable re-running
> crashed jobs (Issue: 1121)

> Add OutputFormat methods like:
> /** Called to initialize output for this job. */
> void initialize(JobConf job) throws IOException;
> /** Called to finalize output for this job. */
> void commit(JobConf job) throws IOException;
> In the base implemenation for FileSystem output, initialize() might then
> create a temporary directory for the job, removing any that already exists,
> and commit could rename the temporary output directory to the final name.
> The existing checkOutputSpecs() would continue to throw an exception if the
> final output already exists.
