> The "Start Time" column shown on Job History server's main webpage
> (http://<host>:<port>/jobhistory) is actually showing the *submit* time for
> jobs. However, when you drill down to an individual job's page, there the
> "Start Time" really does refer to when the job actually started.
> This also true for the web services REST API, where the Jobs listing returns
> the submit times as "startTime", but the single Job API returns the start
> time as "startTime".
> The two different times being referred to by the same name is confusing.
> However, it is useful to have both times, as the difference between the
> submit time and start time can show how long a job was stuck waiting in a
> queue. The column on the main job history page should be changed to "Submit
> Time" and the individual job's page should show both the submit time and
> start time. The web services REST API should be updated with these changes
> as well.
