Venkatesh Seetharam commented on FALCON-349:
--------------------------------------------
There were some challenges implementing this but don't remember off the top of
my head. [~sriksun], do you? Why not have a generic java action which can
launch any java class or even a java MR?
> Support "MapReduce" workflow in process entity
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FALCON-349
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FALCON-349
> Project: Falcon
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: process
> Reporter: Jean-Baptiste Onofré
> Assignee: Jean-Baptiste Onofré
>
> Currently, a process entity supports the following workflow:
> - oozie
> - pig
> - hive
> If an user has a "pure" MapReduce job, the only way to use it in Falcon is
> via the oozie workflow. It means he has to create the workflow.xml describing
> the nodes (mapred.mapper.class, etc elements).
> So, it may look like a overhead for the user who just wants to "schedule" the
> job/process.
> I would propose to create a "mapreduce" workflow, taken directly a MapReduce
> jar from the filesystem, and behind the hood, create a simple workflow.xml
> and schedule it in oozie.
> Thoughts ?
