Milind Bhandarkar commented on MAPREDUCE-1185:
----------------------------------------------

I think the approach of including the job history file name in the URL since 
the beginning will cause more headaches, since the job history file name 
includes some things that are unparseable by humans. It may be easier and more 
human-friendly to translate the job id internally to the history file name, and 
return the content of job history. This will require a map between job ids and 
the file name to be kept inside the jobtracker, but that should not be too big, 
since the entries can be removed when job history is purged periodically. Makes 
sense ?

In any case, Hadoop 0.21 will have a different human-friendly  file naming 
scheme, when this can go away.

> URL to JT webconsole for running job and job history should be the same

> The tracking url for running jobs and the jobs which are retired is 
> different. This creates problem for clients which caches the job running url 
> because soon it becomes invalid when job is retired.
