Arun C Murthy commented on HADOOP-5083: --------------------------------------- bq. When it's standalone, then it should certainly be started separately. But I think, for simplicity and back-compatibility, the default behavior might be for it to continue to run within the JobTracker JVM. +1, we both concur. > Optionally a separate daemon should serve JobHistory > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-5083 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5083 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: mapred > Reporter: Arun C Murthy > Assignee: Amar Kamat > Attachments: HADOOP-5083-v1.2.patch > > > Currently the JobTracker serves the JobHistory to end-users off files > local-disk/hdfs.
