Hi! I have some coordinator jobs (primarily hive scripts) that are running on a daily basis. I need to pass parameters to the hive script such as 'day of the year' and other variables that script should read from a configurable source.
I know this can be done by changing the workflow.xml and deploying it to HDFS before the action is instantiated every day. But its kind of a overhead because we will have several such workflows to maintain. Is there a better strategy to pass arguments to coordinator jobs at run-time? Maybe a sequence of other actions that need to be performed in the workflow so that the hive script gets the appropriate parameters? Any suggestions are welcome. Regards, Nitin
