/**
 * <code>OutputCommitter</code> describes the commit of task output for a 
 * Map-Reduce job.
 *
 * <p>The Map-Reduce framework relies on the <code>OutputCommitter</code> of 
 * the job to:<p>
 * <ol>
 *   <li>
 *   Setup the job during initialization. For example, create the temporary 
 *   output directory for the job during the initialization of the job.
 *   </li>
 *   <li>
 *   Cleanup the job after the job completion. For example, remove the
 *   temporary output directory after the job completion. 
 *   </li>
 *   <li>
 *   Setup the task temporary output.
 *   </li> 
 *   <li>
 *   Check whether a task needs a commit. This is to avoid the commit
 *   procedure if a task does not need commit.
 *   </li>
 *   <li>
 *   Commit of the task output.
 *   </li>  
 *   <li>
 *   Discard the task commit.
