abhishek bafna commented on OOZIE-2212:
---------------------------------------
The `description` will not provide any extra help to you. You can always
provide the meaningful names to actions. That can help you identifying the
action and task, is being performed by it. If the user adds a lot information
in the `description`, it will be difficult to maintain the formatting of the
`-info` command. Also note, Oozie stores the workflow definitions in database,
it will increase the size.
> Add description element for every oozie action tag

> Is is possible to add a element for Oozie action called description for each
> action ?
> Current version has
> <action name="myaction1">
> </action>
> If we can add something like the following for each action that will be
> helpful and so descriptive.
> <action name="myaction1" description="This is Java calling MR">
> </action>
> When user runs oozie -info please get description element as well.
> Pleas let me know if you need any additional information.
> Thanks,
