Hadoop should provide a simplified way of fetching user-logs ------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-6651 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6651 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: New Feature Affects Versions: 0.20.2, 0.20.1, 0.20.0 Reporter: Alok Singh Hi, Currently , in both streaming and normal mode hadoop mapred program, user can't download the logs programatically. jobclient.output.filter=ALL, allows user to print output in the stdout/stderr We need to have the ability to fetch the user logs from the framework. in 0.18, under the hod , we used to store the logs in the hdfs. For 0.20, as long as the jobhistory resides user can view the logs but then it's gone. So in short , I am proposing that hadoop 1) provide the options to the JobClient (i.e jobconf var jobclient.output.logs.location), so that it will download the output in the hdfs location instead of printing to stdout.
