Ye currently am using jobclient to read these counters. But We are not able to use *webservices *because the jar which is used to read the counters from running hadoop job is itself a Hadoop program
If we could have pure Java Api which is run without hadoop command then we could return the counter variable into webservices and show in UI. Any help or technique to show thsese counters in the UI would be appreciated ( not necessarily using web service ) I am using webservices because I am having .net VB client thanks On Wed, Feb 3, 2010 at 8:33 PM, Jeff Zhang <zjf...@gmail.com> wrote: > I think you can use JobClient to get the counters in your web service. > If you look at the shell script bin/hadoop, you will find that actually > this > shell use the JobClient to get the counters. > > > > On Wed, Feb 3, 2010 at 4:34 AM, Mark N <nipen.m...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > We have a hadoop job running and have used custom counters to track few > > counters ( like no of successfully processed documents matching certain > > conditions) > > > > > > Since we need to get this counters even while the Hadoop job is running , > > we > > wrote another Java program to read these counters > > > > > > *Counter reader program *will do the following : > > > > > > 1) List all the running jobs. > > > > 2) Get the running job using Job name > > > > 2) Get all the counter for individual running jobs > > > > 3) Set this counters in variables. > > We could successfully read these counters , but since we need to > > show these counters to custom UI , how can we show these counters? > > > > we looked into various options to read these counters to show in > UI > > as following : > > > > 1.
