Jeremy Hanna commented on OOZIE-649:
------------------------------------
Looks like the joda time library does the appropriate validation to make sure
the days of the month and the months of the year are correct. Do you have a
preference about that? I can either add a dependency on joda time - apache 2
license - http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/ or I can do some simple validation
myself in that util class. I don't mind doing the latter if people don't want
to add the dependency.

> We had an instance where we had an obviously invalid start date for a
> coordinator job - 2011-12-287T01:00Z - note it will start on the 287th day of
> December. I checked on the job today to see if the jobs were completing and
> it said it was still in PREP. I double checked the start date and sure
> enough, it wasn't yet December 287th :). It would be nice to fail fast so
> that the error can be addressed sooner. I would imagine it would just be a
> date validator and an error thrown when trying to launch the coordinator. I
> can submit a patch - if someone would like to just point me in the right
> direction as far as where to get to the job submission code.
