Sharad Agarwal commented on MAPREDUCE-323:
------------------------------------------
If we go with index files, will it be useful to have some basic but most
accessed information like *completion state*, start time, end time, job name to
be available in index file? This avoid the need to parse the history files and
will give rich browsing on web UIs. May be a follow up JIRA for this.
> 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.
