Most possibly, Hadoop JT doesn't callback oozie when hadoop job finishes - as designed . Oozie , as a fallback option, checks the hadoop job status in every 5 minutes (by default, but configurable).
There are two independent things you can do: 1. Find out why JT is not sending the callback. Or it could be Oozie is dropping it. Please check for something like this in oozie log "callback for action". 2. Decrease the auto-retry interval from 5 minutes to 1 minutes (say). Add the following into ooze-site.xml and restart Oozie service. <property> <name>oozie.service.ActionCheckerService.action.check.delay</name> <value>60</value> <description> The time, in seconds, between an ActionCheck for the same action. </description> </property> Regards, Mohammad ________________________________ From: Cuong Luu <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, September 23, 2013 9:30 PM Subject: Take long time to finish a action (status code: Running -> Finished) Hi all, There are 2 simple actions in my work-flow. I see that oozie takes >8 minutes to finish first action (status code: running -> finished) although it takes only 3 seconds in job tracker hadoop site. Are there any config variable to fix it? My sample work-flow: <start to="java-node" /> <action name="java-node"> <java> <job-tracker>${jobTracker}</job-tracker> <name-node>${nameNode}</name-node> <prepare> <delete path="${nameNode}/${hadoop.tmp.dir}" /> </prepare> <configuration> <property> <name>mapred.job.queue.name</name> <value>${queueName}</value> </property> </configuration> <main-class>org.ltc.command.AllFileUrlsOnText</main-class> <arg>${raw.data.set}</arg> </java> <ok to="log-node-start" /> <error to="fail" /> </action> <action name="log-node-start"> <java> <job-tracker>${jobTracker}</job-tracker> <name-node>${nameNode}</name-node> <configuration> <property> <name>mapred.job.queue.name</name> <value>${queueName}</value> </property> </configuration> <main-class>org.ltc.command.LogMain</main-class> <arg>Log From Ozzie </arg> </java> <ok to="end" /> <error to="fail" /> ... </action>
