Gera Shegalov commented on MAPREDUCE-4815:
------------------------------------------
For commit it's necessary to distinguish "empty output", and "fully succeeded
move". Thus an atomic dir rename at the end, which is like a commit record of
the potentially multi-rename transaction.
For recoverTask, step 2 ensures that it can deal with the output of the
previous FOC implementation. We actually need this logic in commitJob as well
because the AM node could be upgraded later than the others. In this sense, I
am not sure how fancy we want to be as it might easily defeat the purpose of
the optimization. Maybe we should just write out FOC version under _temporary
to know whether to do the commit new way or old way.
> FileOutputCommitter.commitJob can be very slow for jobs with many output files

> If a job generates many files to commit then the commitJob method call at the
> end of the job can take minutes. This is a performance regression from 1.x,
> as 1.x had the tasks commit directly to the final output directory as they
> were completing and commitJob had very little to do. The commit work was
> processed in parallel and overlapped the processing of outstanding tasks. In
> 0.23/2.x, the commit is single-threaded and waits until all tasks have
> completed before commencing.
