Amareshwari Sri Ramadasu commented on HADOOP-2116:
--------------------------------------------------

I propose the following  the job cache directory structure to address the above 
needs:
{noformat}
mapred/local/tasktracker/jobcache/<jobid>/
                                  --------> job_jar_xml/
                                             ---------> job.jar
                                             ---------> job.xml
                                             ---------> unJarred directory
                                  --------> work/
                                  --------><taskdir>

{noformat}
And we can have the directories job_jar_xml, work and taskdir on different 
disks.
 mapred/local/tasktracker/jobcache/<jobid>/job_jar_xml/job.jar is available via 
mapred.jar
and mapred/local/tasktracker/jobcache/<jobid>/work is available via 
job.local.dir , which is an empty directory.

Thoughts?

> Currently, since all task cwds are created under a jobcache directory, users 
> that need a job-specific shared directory for use as scratch space, create 
> ../work. This is hacky, and will break when HADOOP-2115 is addressed. For 
> such jobs, hadoop mapred should expose job.local.dir via localized 
> configuration.
