The jobid is printed out for non-silent session execution mode. Since there's no structured interface - I had tried to have structured data emitted as key=value in the output stream. The relevant output emitted here is from:
console.printInfo("Starting Job = " + rj.getJobID() + ", Tracking URL = " + rj.getTrackingURL()); would really welcome a discussion on a better way to get structured data out from the output. ________________________________ From: Josh Ferguson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 08, 2008 12:08 PM To: hive-user@hadoop.apache.org Subject: Hadoop JobStatus When launching off hive queries using hive -e is there a way to get the job id so that I can just queue them up and go check their statuses later? What's the general pattern for queueing and monitoring without using the libraries directly? Josh Ferguson
