Robert Kanter commented on OOZIE-1567: -------------------------------------- {quote}Why would the poll require -run or -start. I thought the command is: oozie job -poll <job id>{quote} I had originally envisioned that the user would do something like {{oozie job -config job.properties -run -poll}} which would start the job and do the polling. In hindsight, I think it will be simpler if we make it a separate command like you suggest. i.e. you'd submit the job and then do {{oozie poll <job_id>}}. A {{-timeout <seconds>}} argument is also a good idea. Maybe a {{-interval <seconds>}} would also be useful. These and any other arguments we want to add later, will be easier and clearer with poll being a separate command. I'll post a new patch when I've refactored that. > Provide a wait tool in Oozie > ---------------------------- > > Key: OOZIE-1567 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-1567 > Project: Oozie > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: core > Affects Versions: 4.0.0 > Reporter: Viji > Assignee: Robert Kanter > Priority: Trivial > Attachments: OOZIE-1567.patch > > > Currently, in situations where a program has to wait to check wether an oozie > workflow is successful or not, it is done by constantly pinging the oozie > workflow status (that is, manual scripts need to be written).
