Jason Lowe commented on MAPREDUCE-5754: --------------------------------------- The patch has gone stale and no longer applies cleanly. My apologies for not getting to this sooner. Some other comments on the patch: - Nit: Is it appropriate to put a particular diagnostic string in the Job interface? Wondering if this is more appropriately placed in JobImpl, as the wording of diagnostic messages seems implementation-specific and not something that necessarily belongs in the interface. - Timeout for TestEvents.testEvent was commented out. - Why are we joining diagnostics with ','? JobImpl.getReport() joins with '\n' so there would be some inconsistency. - Why does JobUnsuccessfulCompletionEvent.getDiagnostics() explicitly check for "N/A" and translate it to an empty string? Can we just have the Avro spec default to "" and remove this check or is there another use-case for this transform? - Did you run a test where the history server tried to parse an old history file generated before this change? It *should* work given the Avro default, but it would be nice to confirm since there were issues in the past with compatibility. > Preserve Job diagnostics in history > ----------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-5754 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5754 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: jobhistoryserver, mr-am > Affects Versions: 2.2.0 > Reporter: Gera Shegalov > Assignee: Gera Shegalov > Attachments: MAPREDUCE-5754.v01.patch, MAPREDUCE-5754.v02.patch > > > History does not store the runtime diagnostics information.
