Hi, I am trying to test action retries based on this: http://yahoo.github.com/oozie/releases/3.1.0/WorkflowFunctionalSpec.html#a18_User-Retry_for_Workflow_Actions_since_Oozie_3.1
Environment: Oozie: apache oozie incubator 3.1.3 from http://incubator.apache.org/oozie/Downloads.html. Hadoop: cdh3u0 Steps to reproduce: 1. Modified the pig-action's workflow.xml available in oozie's examples: to change the namespace URI to <workflow-app xmlns="uri:oozie:workflow:0.3" name="pig-wf"> 2. Added retry-max and retry-interval. <action name="pig-node" retry-max="3" retry-interval="1"> 3. Commented prepare tag, to introduce error: JA018 <!--<prepare> <delete path="${nameNode}/user/${wf:user()}/${examplesRoot}/output-data/pig"/> </prepare>--> 4. oozie-default.xml remains as it is, but also tried by changing the value of property oozie.service.LiteWorkflowStoreService.user.retry.max in oozie-default.xml However, when I run this, as expected we get Error JA018 in pig action. But I do not see oozie retrying the failed action again, neither in oozie nor in hadoop. What additional settings are required to test retry actions? my requirement is to retry subflow for 10 times and then proceed to next action. Thanks, -Idris
