Thomas Kathmann commented on MAPREDUCE-118: ------------------------------------------- Isn't it just possible to add a getter for RunningJob to JobContext or to use the fix I have suggested earlier? (i.e. set the jobId of Job class after Job is submitted) Currently I don't know any way in 0.20.x to get the JobID of a job besides manually patching hadoop-core jar > Job.getJobID() will always return null > -------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-118 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-118 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.20.1 > Reporter: Amar Kamat > Assignee: Amareshwari Sriramadasu > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.21.0 > > Attachments: patch-118-0.20.txt, patch-118-0.21.txt, patch-118-1.txt, > patch-118.txt > > > JobContext is used for a read-only view of job's info. Hence all the readonly > fields in JobContext are set in the constructor. Job extends JobContext. When > a Job is created, jobid is not known and hence there is no way to set JobID > once Job is created. JobID is obtained only when the JobClient queries the > jobTracker for a job-id., which happens later i.e upon job submission. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
