Cron works great and is probably already on your systems.

Subject: Scheduling map/reduce jobs

He Guys,

although it isn't completely related to HBase. Is there support for
scheduling map reduce jobs?

E.g. I want to do a map reduce job that automatically removes certain
elements from hbase and perhaps some additional cleanup (I know that there
is support for lease times).

I could have every node in the cluster schedule this job every hour, but if
there are n nodes I don't want this job to be running n times. Only 1 time
would be sufficient. I can create some checking logic for scheduling a map
reduce job where a job that should not be run is rejected/ignored, but if
there is something out of the box.

Another question:

We are building an environment where client provided plugins can be deployed
and obey some kind of SLA (e.g. we want it to be running on 2 nodes at
least). So the old plugin needs to be undeployed, the jars of the new plugin
need to be copied on demand to the nodes and the new plugin needs to be
deployed. Is there functionality for this behavior out of the box or does it
need to be implemented by ourselves?
