Hi there,

I have a map-reduce job that processes binary files. I'm currently using
/tmp/ as a temporary location to write data to and perform operations like
decompression. If a mapper fails, the temporary filesare left behind on the
nodes.

Is there a way to get a temp location from Hadoop, that is cleaned after the
Map job finishes? I'm sure there must be a better way to do this ;-)

I'm using Hadoop version 0.20.2 (the Cloudera distribution)

Thanks in advance!

Eric
