Mohammad Kamrul Islam commented on OOZIE-588:
---------------------------------------------
So we are in agreement to implement based on choice 2(ii).
To limit the size of job stats, I was thinking to provide a large MAX_SIZE
limit (configurable) to make sure it is not very big. Because people might
create thousand of job counters (a bad design though!) which could increase the
DB size substantially. The same thing could come for pig stats which size is
proportional to the # of jobs it creates.
> Oozie to allow drill down to hadoop job's details

> Key: OOZIE-588
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-588
> Project: Oozie
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Mohammad Kamrul Islam
>
> High-level Requirements:
> -----------------------------------
> Since Oozie is designed as the gateway to grid, we need to support WS API for
> most common hadoop commands through Oozie. User doesn't want to go to
> multiple system to get the required data. Based on these, we propose to
> implement the following requirements into Oozie.
>
> R1: Oozie will provide WS endpoints to get hadoop job details (including job
> counters).
> R2: It will support both types of hadoop jobs : MR job created for MR action,
> MR jobs created as part of pig script.
> R3: In addition, for pig action, oozie will provide a way to query the pig
> stats.
> Proposed design:
> ----------------------
> D1: Oozie will store the *summary* jobcounter /pigstats into oozie DB.
> The items in the summary stats will be determined by oozie to limit the size.
> However,the commonly used stats will be include into the summary. It is
> important to note that summary information will be collected *after* the job
> finished.
>
> D2: If the user asks for *details* hadoop job stats , the user needs to
> query using different WS API. In this query, a user will specify *a* hadoop
> job id. Oozie will directly query the hadoop JT/RM/HS. Since it is an
> external call with undetermined response time, Oozie will provide only one
> hadoop job id per-request to avoid the timeout in WS call. Caveats: If hadoop
> is down or the job is not in JT/RM/History Server, Oozie will fail to collect
> the details.
>
> D3: For pig, Oozie will store the pig-generated hadoop ids in it DB and
> will expose that to user throw the "verbose" query.
> D4: Oozie will need to collect those summary pig stats and corresponding
> job counters and store it in Oozie DB. PigStats has a way of getting job
> counter for each hadoop job that it submits. We could use that API to collect
> summary counters for pig-created jobs.
> D5: The complete/detail pigstats will be stored into Pig Launcher Mapper
> as job counter. So that if a user wants to get the detail pig stats, we could
> get it from the LM directly.
>
> Open questions:
> ----------------------
> * What should be in the summary counters/stats?
> * What is the max size of stats?
> Advanced planning: <Not in the scope of this task, but might required for
> design to support later>
> --------------------------
> * Some users are asking to query the job stats when the job is RUNNING. They
> need it to decide for subsequent job submissions.
> * By the above design , user could use D2, to get the counter when MR action
> is running.
> * However, for pig, it is not that straight forward. Because Pig submits the
> jobs during execution. But the new PigRunner provide a listener concept where
> user can get the notifications such as when a new MR job submitted and its ID.
> * By using this, Oozie could get the running hadoop job id instantly. In
> future, user might want this to query using D2.
