Andras Piros commented on OOZIE-2715:
-------------------------------------
[~gezapeti] this JIRA is about general means of providing default values for
action types. Another use case is e.g. setting {{oozie.libpath}} for all Sqoop
actions of all workflows on one Oozie server. To my knowledge it isn't covered
anywhere, is it?
> 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
> Priority: Major
>
> 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.
