[ 60 ] The old MapReduce API includes two classes for producing multiple outputs: MultipleOut-
putFormat and MultipleOutputs . In a nutshell, MultipleOutputs is more fully featured, but
MultipleOutputFormat has more control over the output directory structure and file naming. Mul-
tipleOutputs in the new API combines the best features of the two multiple output classes in the old
API. The code on this topic's website includes old API equivalents of the examples in this section using
both MultipleOutputs and MultipleOutputFormat .
