> Job setup and cleanup overheads in our (larger) clusters are very significant and add to latency for small jobs. It turns out that Hive does not require job setup and cleanup at all - since all management of output/temporary files and such is done by the hive client side. So it would be a big win for our environment (and Hive users in general) if we could skip job cleanup/setup altogether.
> The proposal is to add new calls to OutputCommitter interface (along the lines of needsTaskCommit()) to optionally allow skipping of setup/cleanup and for the JT to take these into account while scheduling setup/cleanup. NullOutputFormat should not need setup/cleanup for example.
