Jaydeep Vishwakarma commented on OOZIE-2327:
--------------------------------------------

[~puru] , Showing some random path would not make any sense. We cannot assume 
some path and show it to the user , As ${coord:latest(int n)} is not relative 
to the coordinator action creation (materialization) time, it is the nth latest 
instance available when the action is started (when the workflow job is 
started).
One of the reason of input path unavailability could be the missing of 
done-flag in latest path and that latest path belongs to some very old time 
compare to current time and in this case showing some recent path will 
completely miss lead to the user. 
Currently we show missing input for latest path like !!${coord:latest(0) , 
instead of this we can show something like  
coord:latest(0)[/data/metadata/A/${YEAR}/${MONTH}/${DAY}/${HOUR}] . I think It 
will not miss lead to the user. 

> coord:latest(int n) does not give the information about the path

> User used to face difficulty when coord instance wait for coord:latest( n ). 
> As oozie -info does not show which path it is waiting for. At the user end 
> has to see the coord definition.  If we show uri-template it will improve 
> debuggability.
