Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-4053: ---------------------------------------- 1. I'd expect jobCompleted() to be a no-op, and have jobRemoved() get called when the job is removed. 2. There's a big assumption in JobTracker that the callbacks are fast and don't block on anything, as the calls are synchronized on the JobTracker, the jobs and the taskScheduler (always in that order). It may be wise to have a bundled implementation that queues up the events and returns fast, so that people who implement this interface (myself included) have a base implementation that works the way the JobTracker expects; so things we add things like postings to tuple-spaces or other notifications happen outside the synchronized block. > Schedulers need to know when a job has completed > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-4053 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4053 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.19.0 > Reporter: Vivek Ratan > Assignee: Amar Kamat > Fix For: 0.19.0 > > Attachments: HADOOP-4053-v1.patch > > > The JobInProgressListener interface is used by the framework to notify > Schedulers of when jobs are added, removed, or updated.
