Hi there,
as we all know the coordinator jobs are materialized, when frequency is
given w/ a Cron expression, regardless of timezone attribute
<https://github.com/apache/oozie/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/apache/oozie/command/coord/CoordMaterializeTransitionXCommand.java#L471>,
considering only oozie.processing.timezone
<https://github.com/apache/oozie/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/apache/oozie/command/coord/CoordCommandUtils.java#L801>
configuration entry. This is often very confusing for users.
I think following can be done:
- in 4.4.0 timeframe: extend the Coordinator Functional Specification by
mentioning this fact
- in 5.0.0 timeframe:
- alter functionality that timezone attribute is also considered when
frequency is Cron based
- make this behavior configurable
- make this behavior switched off by default, in order all
previous <coordinator-app
/> instances continue working
What are your thoughts?
