Description

I've a few apps that require to write out data into different files/directories depending on keys and/or configuration variables.
I've implemented such classes for those apps. I noticed that many other users have similar need from time to time.
So I think it may be a good idea to contribute to Hadoop mapred.lib package so that other users can benefit from it.
