Josh Kurz commented on OOZIE-1841:
----------------------------------
1769 is about updating an existing coordinator and is a nice feature, but I
would like to submit a new coordinator with the API and not have to submit a
configuration xml with the post. I would rather just submit a json payload with
a url that points to a properties file that has all of the information already.
This post could also have information inside of it, that would overwrite items
that are set in the properties file.
Use case: (submit a coordinator)
post to /jobs with xml config || post to /jobs with json payload that points to
location of properties file.
This would just allow a simpler way to specify properties when submitting jobs
IMO. Currently we run jobs from the cmd on the oozie box itself. These
properties files are created via chef for each possible job that we would like
to run and are used in the oozie commands. We are building a UI that allows us
to simply create our own jobs, which works with the oozie api. So instead of
recreating these properties files in xml format to submit from the UI, I
believe it would be much easier to just point to their location when submitting
a job.

> I would like to be able to post to oozie/v1/jobs and just set a configuration
> path. The xml files for each coordinator job that could be created are
> already created and are on the uzi box (for my use case). Is there a way to
> just tell oozie that I would like to use one of those pre made xml files vs
> submitting xml with an http post.
> curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d {"configUrl":
> "/path/to/uzi/configuration"} "http://uzibox:11000/oozie/v1/jobs?action=start";
