Description

MongoOutputFormat does not write back in collection because the HadoopOutputFormat wrapper does not allow to set the MongoOutputCommiter and is set as default to FileOutputCommitter. Therefore, on close and globalFinalize execution the commit does not happen and mongo collection stays untouched.

A simple solution would be to:

1 - create a constructor of HadoopOutputFormatBase and HadoopOutputFormat that gets the OutputCommitter as a parameter
2 - change the outputCommitter field of HadoopOutputFormatBase to be a generic OutputCommitter
3 - remove the default assignment in the open() and finalizeGlobal to the outputCommitter to FileOutputCommitter(), or keep it as a default in case of no specific assignment.
