Amar Kamat commented on HADOOP-5083: ------------------------------------ Dhruba, in this issue we are not purging jobs based on the memory usage. Here the jobs are purged as soon as they exceed _some_ amount of time in the jobtracker which by default is 1 min. There is another process that takes care of serving/displaying completed job info. HADOOP-4766 was opened to address what you want. Since completed jobs will no longer remain in the memory, there is no memory management required. > 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, HADOOP-5083-v1.9.patch > > > Currently the JobTracker serves the JobHistory to end-users off files > local-disk/hdfs.

The proposal is to have an optional daemon which handles serving > of job-history requests. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
