                 Key: CRUNCH-580
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CRUNCH-580
             Project: Crunch
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core, IO
    Affects Versions: 0.13.0
         Environment: Amazon Elastic Map Reduce
            Reporter: Jeffrey Quinn

We have run in to a pretty frustrating inefficiency inside of org.apache.crunch.io.impl.FileTargetImpl#handleOutputs.

This method loops over all of the partial output files and moves them to their ultimate destination directories, calling org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem#rename(org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path, org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path) on each partial output in a loop.

This is no problem when the org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem in question is HDFS where #rename is a cheap operation, but when an implementation such as S3NativeFileSystem is used it is extremely inefficient, as each iteration through the loop makes a single blocking S3 API call, and this loop can be extremely long when there are many thousands of partial output files.
