Alejandro Abdelnur commented on OOZIE-1306:
-------------------------------------------
This could be done by adding support for 'crontab' like syntax to express job
frequency.
Though, we have to think how this will affect/impact dataset instances ranges
used as input/output.
For example:
A coordinator job running weekdays, MON-FRI will produce datasets MON-FRI.
When a second coordinator job consumes the dataset of the first MON-FRI
coordinator job, how it express it dependencies assuming this second
coordinator runs daily or weekly and wants to consume a 'range' of the output
of the previous coordinator job.
It would be good to work on paper some uses cases to see how this would work
and what else needs to be done so this new feature is usable and integrates
with existing coordinator jobs.

> Right now, to have a job that runs everyday from 9-5pm, we need to schedule 8
> identical daily coordinator job, each of which starts at one particular hour;
> To have a job that runs from Monday through Friday, we need 5 identical
> weekly jobs with different start time. And there is no way right now to
> schedule a job to runevery first day of the month. This ticket aims to solve
> this inconvenience.
