Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-2116:
---------------------------------------
*Ugh* is right.
I'd propose some better names:
$local/work/$jobid/
cache/ -- file cache
jars/ -- expanded jar
job.xml -- the generic job conf
$taskid/
job.xml -- task localized job conf
output/ -- map outputs
work/ -- cwd for task
with each of the leaf directories being placed independently on the partitions.
We should define localized attributes to point to where each of the leaf
directories is.
I agree with Arun that we should re-work the -file option to use the file cache
with symlinks.
> Job.local.dir to be exposed to tasks

> 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.
