Tom White commented on MAPREDUCE-370: ------------------------------------- bq. I think these users can override FileOutputFormat.getDefaultWorkFile to control the precise filename. This is true. So to have complete control over the output filename you would call the write method with a base output path of the name you want (possibly using the key and value to construct it). You would then override FileOutputFormat.getDefaultWorkFile() to omit the {m,r}-nnnnn suffix. We could make this slightly easier in the future perhaps (by putting it in the MultipleOutputs API, for example), but I think the current approach is reasonable. > Change org.apache.hadoop.mapred.lib.MultipleOutputs to use new api. > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-370 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-370 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Amareshwari Sriramadasu > Assignee: Amareshwari Sriramadasu > Fix For: 0.21.0 > > Attachments: patch-370-1.txt, patch-370-2.txt, patch-370.txt > > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
