Doug Cutting commented on MAPREDUCE-157: ---------------------------------------- A hint, run 'ant schemata' then look at build/src/org/apache/hadoop/mapreduce/jobhistory/Events.java to see the Java API that's generated. > 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: Sub-task > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assignee: Jothi Padmanabhan > Attachments: mapred-157-prelim.patch, MAPREDUCE-157-avro.patch > > > 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.
