Jothi Padmanabhan commented on MAPREDUCE-1016:
----------------------------------------------

I think storing it in JSON is a good idea too. Nevertheless, I think the best 
way for other history consumers/tools to insulate themselves from the 
underlying changes/incompatibilities would be to use the JobHistoryParsing 
API's. At the least, they will abstract out the underlying storage format.

> Make the format of the Job History be JSON instead of Avro binary

> I forgot that one of the features that would be nice is to off load the job 
> history display from the JobTracker. That will be a lot easier, if the job 
> history is stored in JSON. Therefore, I think we should change the storage 
> now to prevent incompatibilities later.
