Paco Nathan commented on HADOOP-4559:
-------------------------------------

> Isn't most of this provided through job history?

No, not really. Not if a long-running workflow requires these measurements for 
automated decisions.

While a human can *read* the job history data from JSP pages, there's no 
current means for the app code which calls ToolRunner to obtain that data and 
use it to alter the workflow.

> Rest API for retrieving job / task statistics

> a rest api that returns a simple JSON containing information about a given 
> job such as:  min/max/avg times per task, failed tasks, etc. This would be 
> useful in order to allow external restart or modification of parameters of a 
> run.
