Andras Piros commented on OOZIE-2715:
-------------------------------------

[~Bearricade] do you want a generic solution that handles any property key / 
value pairs on a per action type basis?

If you only need to suppress the retry count based on the action types, you 
could use inside {{workflow.xml}} the attribute {{retry-max}} of the 
{{application}} element like that:

{code:xml}
    <xs:complexType name="ACTION">
        ...
        <xs:attribute name="retry-max" type="xs:string"/>
        ...
    </xs:complexType>
{code}

> Provide possibility to set default values for properties of a particular 
> action type

>             Project: Oozie
>          Issue Type: Wish
>          Components: action
>    Affects Versions: 4.2.0

> 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.
