Yang Hao commented on MAPREDUCE-6220:
-------------------------------------

I think we can change the word from forbid to suppress as you said, for that to 
suppress the stdout is the goal and devnull is a method to ahieve this goal. 
Users may be concerned on the function than the implement method

> Provide option to suppress stdout of MapReduce task

> System.out is a ugly way to print log, and many times it would do harm to 
> Hadoop cluster. So we can provide an option to forbid it
