Suresh, thanks for pointing it out. Devaraj just did it.
> Provide programmatic access to use job log
> -------------------------------------------

> Key: MAPREDUCE-2918
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2918
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Mohammad Kamrul Islam
>
> Since hadoop job/task log is critical for debugging, providing a programmatic
> access would definitely add a big value to the end user.
> Oozie users are repeatedly asking to open up the hadoop job log for them.
> However, Oozie doesn't have any knowledge about the log location as well as
> the log contents of hadoop job.
> The expected programmatic access could come in any or both ways:
> 1. Allowing an API such as getLogPath(jobId) that returns the base HDFS path
> of the job directory.
> 2. Allowing an API such as getLog(jobId) that will return the log contents
> (may be as streaming output).
