Mahesh, The JobTracker is not a user-end API, it is a service. You can't query it for its private objects as simply as that, and hence what you've suggested would not work.
Pedro, To get a RunningJob instance from a String representing the JobID you need the JobClient class, and you can do like so: JobClient jc = new JobClient(jobConf); org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobID jId = org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobID.forName(jobIdString); RunningJob rJob = jc.getJob(jId); // Play with the rJob object as you want.
