Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-5083: ---------------------------------------- # Obviously, I'd like to see the new code integrated with HADOOP-3628. Could you use method names and a stub lifecycle that is compatible? # the JobTracker should not be the place that starts an external JVM, as there are JVM options, console logs and other lifecycle issues to consider -such as keeping the JobHistory daemon live while the JobTracker restarts, yet still being able to log and terminate the JobHistory daemon when required. # This is a really good opportunity to start HtmlUnit tests for the JSP pages, especially considering the amount of Java code embedded into them. > Optionally a separate daemon should serve JobHistory > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-5083 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5083 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: mapred > Reporter: Arun C Murthy > Attachments: HADOOP-5083-v1.2.patch > > > Currently the JobTracker serves the JobHistory to end-users off files > local-disk/hdfs. While running very large clusters with a large user-base > might result in lots of traffic for job-history which needlessly taxes the > JobTracker. The proposal is to have an optional daemon which handles serving > of job-history requests. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
