Hive should use NullOutputFormat for hadoop jobs ------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-1355 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1355 Project: Hadoop Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Query Processor Reporter: Joydeep Sen Sarma see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1802 hive doesn't depend on hadoop job output folder. it produces output exclusively via side effect folders. we should use an outputformat that can request hadoop skip cleanup/setup. this could be nulloutputformat (unless there are any objections in hadoop to changing nulloutputformat behavior). as a small side effect, it also avoids some totally unnecessary hdfs file creates and deletes in hdfs. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
