             Summary: Add support for using Hadoop's OutputCommitter
                 Key: HIVE-16295
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16295
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: Sahil Takiar
            Assignee: Sahil Takiar


Hive doesn't have integration with Hadoop's {{OutputCommitter}}, it uses a {{NullOutputCommitter}} and uses its own commit logic spread across {{FileSinkOperator}}, {{MoveTask}}, and {{Hive}}.

The Hadoop community is building a {{OutputCommitter}} that integrates with S3Guard and does a safe, coordinate commit of data on S3 inside individual tasks. If Hive can integrate with this new {{OutputCommitter}} there would be a lot of benefits to Hive-on-S3:

* Data is only written once; directly committing data at a task level means no renames are necessary
* The commit is done safely, in a coordinated manner; duplicate tasks (from task retries or speculative execution) should not step on each other
* Data is written within each task, so everything in does in parallel
