Srikanth Sundarrajan commented on FALCON-510:
---------------------------------------------
Thanks [~billie.rinaldi], We are in fact looking to inject something similar
into every single job launched when initiated via Falcon. This injection of
property is necessary and that is what is intended to be done via FALCON-510.
> Inject falcon related properties to job conf
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FALCON-510
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FALCON-510
> Project: Falcon
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Shwetha G S
> Assignee: Peeyush Bishnoi
>
> Currently there is no falcon context injected at MR job level. The job conf
> has at most the oozie workflow / action ID either in the job name or
> sometimes in the job conf.
> Therefore there is no way for a tool like hraven, which relies completely on
> jobconf and job history data, to identify that a particular job maps to a
> particular falcon process or it's instance time, etc. Right now hraven does
> regex-based job name surgery on a best effort basis before emitting metrics
> to graphite
> Request the following feature in falcon:
> Add the following properties to the job conf (for all jobs - be it a pig
> action or an MR action):
> falcon.process.name
> falcon.process.instancetime
> while we're at it, might as well add any other falcon context as a jobconf
> property (like whether it was a rerun or the input/output feeds, cluster,
> validity, any process properties, etc.)
> This will ofcourse inject at the first job level and cannot ensure that any
> child jobs get the properties passed on (unless we can figure out a way to do
> that too).
