> Background
> ==========
> The system like Hive provides its version of  OutputCommitter. The custom implementation of isRecoverySupported() requires task context. From taskContext:getConfiguration(), hive checks if  hive-defined specific property is set or not. Based on the property value, it returns true or false. However, in the current OutputCommitter:isRecoverySupported(), there is no way of getting task config. As a result, user can't  turn on/off the MRAM recovery feature.
> Proposed resolution:
> ===============
> 1. Pass Task Context into  isRecoverySupported() method.
> Pros: Easy and clean
> Cons: Possible backward compatibility issue due to aPI changes. (Is it true?)
> 2. Call outputCommitter.setupTask(taskContext) from MRAM: The new OutputCommitter will store the context in the class level variable and use it from  isRecoverySupported() 
> Props: No API changes. No backward compatibility issue. This call can be made from MRAppMaster.getOutputCommitter() method for old API case.
> Cons: Might not be very clean solution due to class level variable.
> Please give your comments.
