> Here's one that [~knoguchi] found and root-caused. This one's a doozy. 
> Under seemingly random conditions, the temporary output (under {{_SCRATCH1.234*}}) for HCat's dynamic partitioner isn't promoted correctly to the final table directory.
> The namenode logs indicated a botched directory-rename:
> {noformat}

> Note that the table-directory name {{"myth_table_15m"}} is appended with {{"E-4"}}. This'll break anything that uses HDFS-based polling.
> [~knoguchi] points out the following code:
> {code:title=HCatOutputFormat.java}
> 119   if ((idHash = conf.get(HCatConstants.HCAT_OUTPUT_ID_HASH)) == null) {
> 120         idHash = String.valueOf(Math.random());
> 121   }
> {code}
> {code:title=FileOutputCommitterContainer.java}
> 370       String finalLocn = jobLocation.replaceAll(Path.SEPARATOR + SCRATCH_DIR_NAME + "\\d\\.?\\d+","");
> {code}
> The problem is that when {{Math.random()}} produces a number <= 10 ^-3^, {{String.valueOf(double)}} uses exponential notation. The regex doesn't capture or handle this notation.
> The fix belies the debugging-effort.
