Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-5834: --------------------------------------- Doug suggests using Jackson library for JSON parsing and generation. Its url is http://jackson.codehaus.org/. > Job History log file format is not friendly for external tools. > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-5834 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5834 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mapred > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > > Currently, parsing the job history logs with external tools is very difficult > because of the format. The most critical problem is that newlines aren't > escaped in the strings. That makes using tools like grep, sed, and awk very > tricky. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
