[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-76) Implement speculative re-execution of reduces

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-76?page=comments#action_12446162 ] 
            
Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-76:
-------------------------------------

Since the dfs locking doesn't really work reliably, I would drop the tip id part of the directory structure, don't do any locking, and if the file is already in place, just skip that file.
