Suppose if i have map only tasks without any reducers, still the map outputs will be written to local file system ?

Yes, it will still write the output to the path set by FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(JobConf, Path) and there will no sorting or partitioning.

UPDATE: As mentioned by Chris White, it will be written directly to HDFS and not the local file system.
