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.

> 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.
