> HFileOutputFormat creates a partitions file for managing reducer partition boundaries. This file is created under /tmp and is just a UUID. As [pointed out|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4285?focusedCommentId=13620294&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13620294] by [~lurbina], there's no guarantee this path exists or is user-writable. As [~yuzhihong@gmail.com] [mentions|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4285?focusedCommentId=13602934&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13602934], this file name is useless for users trying to debug a failing job. We should give it a meaningful name, based on job name and/or timestamp.
