[moving common-user@ to BCC] Oozie is not HA yet. But it would be relatively easy to make it. It was designed with that in mind, we even did a prototype.
Oozie consists of 2 services, a SQL database to store the Oozie jobs state and a servlet container where Oozie app proper runs. The solution for HA for the database, well, it is left to the database. This means, you'll have to get an HA DB. The solution for HA for the Oozie app is deploying the servlet container with the Oozie app in more than one box (2 or 3); and front them by a HTTP load-balancer. The missing part is that the current Oozie lock-service is currently an in-memory implementation. This should be replaced with a Zookeeper implementation. Zookeeper could run externally or internally in all Oozie servers. This is what was prototyped long ago. Thanks.
