We are working with a particular pig script that occasionally fails with what appears to be a transient error. At least, when we re-run the script it works. We are working this into a workflow and are looking for a way to have it re-try a failed action once. First instinct is to use a decision node, but I don't know how to track the state to ensure it only retries once. Second idea was to just implement the action twice, and have <error to="second action">, <ok to="third action">. Is there a best practice around this type of thing? thanks, Paul
