Aaron Kimball commented on MAPREDUCE-679:
-----------------------------------------
We have clients who want to integrate some basic jobtracker/namenode monitoring
and jobtracker history into external metrics-tracking applications. Scraping
the HTML off the existing JSP's doesn't cut it -- XML representations of them
are considerably more sane. Earlier versions of this patch are already in
one-off deployments.
As for the "interim" nature of this -- Really, I think the interim is here to
stay. HADOOP-4559 has not had any attention since early February, and that was
just a one-off comment. No substantive dialogue there since Dec '08.

> In HADOOP-4559, a general REST API for reporting metrics was proposed but
> work seems to have stalled. In the interim, we have a simple XML translation
> of the existing JobTracker status page which provides the same metrics
> (including the tables of running/completed/failed jobs) as the human-readable
> page. This is a relatively lightweight addition to provide some
> machine-understandable metrics reporting.
