Steve Loughran commented on SPARK-21549:
----------------------------------------

Linking to SPARK-20045, which highlights the commit logic, especially the abort 
code, needs to be resilient to failures, including that of the invoked 
{{OutputCommitter.abort()}} calls from raising exceptions. While people 
implementing committers should be expected to write resilient abort routines, 
you can't rely on it. Same for calling fs.delete()...it could also fall, so 
wrapping everything in an exception handler would at least make abort resilient.
