> Usually when you run a mapreduce job and the output directory already exists, the job fails (won't start). A Crunch job does run, but results in the output data being duplicated in the output directory with numbered files that follow on from the previous run. 
> Example
> Run 1, single reducer /output -> /output/part-r-00000
> Run 2, single reducer /output -> /output/part-r-00000, /output/part-r-00001
> I didn't realise I'd run my job twice, so when I looked in the directory it seemed that there had been 2 reducers and somehow the output had been generated twice, which was confusing. 
> I realise this may be by design, but it feels wrong to me. I'd prefer if the behaviour of a standard mapreduce job was preserved.
