[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-4510) FileOutputFormat protects getTaskOutputPath

["Chris K Wensel (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4510?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12642351#action_12642351 ] 

Chris K Wensel commented on HADOOP-4510:
----------------------------------------

The simple solution is to make the method public.

The alternative of not having RecordWriters write to this magic directory seems more daunting considering this bit of Hadoop changes every release.

> o.a.h.m.FileOutputFormat#getTaskOutputPath() is protected. 
> Having access to a task output directory as used internally by RecordWriters is quite handy. This is especially true if the user is attempting to serialize out data in a similar fashion as the output collector.
