dhruba borthakur commented on HADOOP-5083: ------------------------------------------ Hi Amar, I have a couple of questions about the history server: 1. If a job is completed and retired, and then the JT as well as the History Server restarts. Can a user get to the logs of a job that was completed earlier? 2. Does the History Server keep some sort of an persistent index into the completed/failed jobs? > 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.
