--------------------------------------
Summary: Provide possibility to set default values for properties
of a particular action type
Key: OOZIE-2715
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-2715
Project: Oozie
Issue Type: Wish
Components: action
Affects Versions: 4.2.0
Reporter: Istvan Vajnorak
When it comes to retrying an action, one can set the default values for a retry
on the global level, and the override can happen then on the individual step's
level only.
The proposal to be able to set retry and other properties on an action type
basis, could allow defaulting things and help not to do repetitive work on each
action instance in the workflow.
Example:
- One has 60 shell actions and 30 java actions in a workflow.
- One sets " oozie.launcher.yarn.resourcemanager.am.max-attempts=1" globally
- For shell steps they don't want this to get applied, so they have to suppress
the retry on those steps each time
The proposal would allow an intermediate level of override similarly like the
hadoop conf allows with the *-default.xml, *-site.xml and code level properties
override.
