Description

After MAPREDUCE-3975, mapreduce.job.local.dir is set correctly for the tasks but it doesn't point to the same directory for all tasks running on the node.

It is a public API. Either we should point to a single directory or point it to all directories and change the documentation to say that it points to all dirs.
