Eugene Koifman created HIVE-6307: ------------------------------------ Summary: "completed" field description should be clarified. Key: HIVE-6307 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6307 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Documentation, WebHCat Affects Versions: 0.12.0 Reporter: Eugene Koifman
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/WebHCat+Reference+Job explains the fields in the JSON document which contains status information for a particular job. "completed" field is set once the process that the Launcher task launched returns. For example, if user submitted a M/R job via webhcat, "completed" will be set to "done" once the "hadoop jar" command that the Launcher invokes exits. If one is looking for status of the job itself, the fields inside "status" element should be consulted (e.g. "jobComplete" or "runState") -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
