Dick King commented on MAPREDUCE-323:
-------------------------------------
I would like to retract the suggestion that job history log file names be
shortened during the creation of the data base [see 5a in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-323?focusedCommentId=12891928&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#action_12891928
].
That's a race condition waiting to happen, and not really all that beneficial.
> Improve the way job history files are managed
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MAPREDUCE-323
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-323
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: jobtracker
> Affects Versions: 0.21.0, 0.22.0
> Reporter: Amar Kamat
> Assignee: Dick King
> Priority: Critical
>
> Today all the jobhistory files are dumped in one _job-history_ folder. This
> can cause problems when there is a need to search the history folder
> (job-recovery etc). It would be nice if we group all the jobs under a _user_
> folder. So all the jobs for user _amar_ will go in _history-folder/amar/_.
> Jobs can be categorized using various features like _jobid, date, jobname_
> etc but using _username_ will make the search much more efficient and also
> will not result into namespace explosion.
