Philip Zeyliger commented on MAPREDUCE-157: ------------------------------------------- Would this be a good place to try the Avro serialization format in Hadoop proper? If text-formatting is desired, AVRO-50 has a text format for Avro, which is JSON already. So you'd basically be implementing the same thing, but with the extra context of an Avro schema. -- Philip > Job History log file format is not friendly for external tools. > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-157 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-157 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assignee: Jothi Padmanabhan > > Currently, parsing the job history logs with external tools is very difficult > because of the format. The most critical problem is that newlines aren't > escaped in the strings. That makes using tools like grep, sed, and awk very > tricky. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
