Vivek Ratan commented on HADOOP-4053:
-------------------------------------

A job is marked complete in JobTracker.finalizeJob(). At this point, a 
JobInProgressListener listener should be notified of this change. I can see at 
least two options to do this: 
1. Call JobInProgressListener.jobUpdated() at this point. Ideally, this method 
should include two arguments/objects: one capturing the old state and one the 
new state, otherwise the listener has to figure out how the job has been 
updated. 
2. Add a new method to JobInProgressListener called jobCompleted(), and call 
that from finalizeJob(). 

The second is cleaner, IMO, as a job's completion is a distinct, well 
understood event in the system.

> The JobInProgressListener interface is used by the framework to notify 
> Schedulers of when jobs are added, removed, or updated. Right now, there is 
> no way for the Scheduler to know that a job has completed. jobRemoved() is 
> called when a job is retired, which can happen many hours after a job is 
> actually completed. jobUpdated() is called when a job's priority is changed. 
> We need to notify a listener when a job has completed (either successfully, 
> or has failed or been killed).
