Hello:
I have been playing around with Oozie Coordinator and noticed that when a
coordinator definition is submitted, if the start value is in the past, it will
run the workflow based on this past start and frequency values to "catch up" to
the current time. Is there a way to tell Oozie to not run any workflows from
the past?
For example, if the actual time when the Coordinator definition is submitted is
2013-11-04T12:30Z and the coordinator.xml is:
<coordinator-app name="test-coord"
frequency="${coord:hours(1)}"
start="2013-11-04T00:00Z"
end="2013-11-04T24:00Z"
timezone="UTC" xmlns="uri:oozie:coordinator:0.1">
<action>
<workflow>
.
.
.
</workflow>
</action>
</coordinator-app>
then workflow will run from 2013-11-04T00:00Z to 2013-11-04T12:00Z until it
catches up (i.e., 12 or 13 times. Not sure as this is an example) to the
current time. It will then follow the schedule. I would like it to just execute
the next time the schedule is satisfied (i.e., is 2013-11-04T13:00Z)
Thanks,
Richard.
