Milind Bhandarkar commented on HADOOP-2116: ------------------------------------------- Since this bug is scheduled for 0.16, having incompatible changes in that release is fine (of course, as long as it is flagged such in the release notes.) > Job.local.dir to be exposed to tasks > ------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-2116 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2116 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: mapred > Affects Versions: 0.14.3 > Environment: All > Reporter: Milind Bhandarkar > Assignee: Amareshwari Sri Ramadasu > Fix For: 0.16.0 > > Attachments: patch-2116.txt, patch-2116.txt > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
