Yes time based triggers are available if based on well defined frequency. An
alpha version of an alternate implementation of scheduler is now available in
0.9, which provides for more richer scheduling semantics.

Yes. You can pass dynamic variables. These can be derived from cluster
properties, feed properties, process properties and other runtime context.
> 3.Does Falcon supports all actions as Oozie
Yes. All actions are supported

Oozie is a mandatory dependency. HCatalog is needed if you intend to use
catalog based feeds.
