Low Description
After sstable files are written, all files in the specified output directory are loaded (transferred) to the remote cassandra cluster. If multiple writes occur on a node to the same table (i.e. directory), then the multiple load processes end up transferring the same sstable files multiple times. Furthermore, if directory cleanup of successful outputs is set to occur (CASSANDRA-7777), then there could be errors caused by write/load contention.
This can be simply remedied by using unique output directories for each MR job.
