Direct Known Subclasses:

public abstract class OutputCommitter
extends OutputCommitter

OutputCommitter describes the commit of task output for a Map-Reduce job.

The Map-Reduce framework relies on the OutputCommitter of the job to:

1. Setup the job during initialization. For example, create the temporary output directory for the job during the initialization of the job.
2. Cleanup the job after the job completion. For example, remove the temporary output directory after the job completion.
3. Setup the task temporary output.
4. Check whether a task needs a commit. This is to avoid the commit procedure if a task does not need commit.
5. Commit of the task output.
6. Discard the task commit.
