> Currently, in Hive, when a file gets written by a FileSinkOperator,
> the sequence of operations is as follows:
> 1. In tmp directory tmp1, create a tmp file _tmp_1
> 2. At the end of the operator, move
> /tmp1/_tmp_1 to /tmp1/1
> 3. Move directory /tmp1 to /tmp2
> 4. For all files in /tmp2, remove all files starting with _tmp and
> duplicate files.
> Due to speculative execution, a lot of temporary files are created
> in /tmp1 (or /tmp2). This leads to a lot of name node calls,
> specially for large queries.
> The protocol above can be modified slightly:
> 1. In tmp directory tmp1, create a tmp file _tmp_1
> 2. At the end of the operator, move
> /tmp1/_tmp_1 to /tmp2/1
> 3. Move directory /tmp2 to /tmp3
> 4. For all files in /tmp3, remove all duplicate files.
> This should reduce the number of tmp files.
