In general, PREP-->RUNNING should rarely visible in normal cases. If you use the command "oozie job -run ". The job should stay in PREP for few ms. It should transit to RUNNING directly.
Did you use "oozie job -submit "? In this case, Oozie waits for the job to be started when the user will execute "oozie job -start". It is encouraged to use "oozie job -run ..." directly.
