             Summary: Output of SSH action should be avaialbe in logs by 
default + allow capture it raw (no properties file)
                 Key: OOZIE-2738
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-2738
             Project: Oozie
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: scripts
    Affects Versions: 4.2.0
            Reporter: Raphael Jolivet
            Priority: Critical


From, the docs, I understand that capturing output of a remote SSH script 
requires :
* Explicit <capture-output/> tag
* Ensuring the output to be a java properties file, even in case of error.

I find this behavior quite limiting and counter intuitive.
I would expect that, by default, the complete output of any script call would 
be available in some log file, for troubleshooting.

Also, I would expect to have some <capture-raw-output/> tag, in order to 
forward the output of a failing script to an email for instance.

Instead of that, we need to adapt existing scripts, in order to output 
meaningful error in the very restrictive format :
'"error=Some short error"

This is not always possible, as it is hard to control the output of the 
underlying commands called by a script (bash typically).
