Amar Kamat commented on MAPREDUCE-181: -------------------------------------- bq. _version that contains the storage version (1.0 to start with) Why cant this be in the respective files as headers? Today we add the version info as the first line in the file. bq. The JobTracker doesn't need to do any writes to HDFS, just reads So you mean to say that we just persist jobid and job-staging location for restart/persistence? Also the jobtracker will be forced do all the checks for job upon restart as the job files can change anytime. Also this is a change from the current model where the files once accepted cannot change. User now can change the jobconf while the job is running. > Secure job submission > ---------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-181 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-181 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Amar Kamat > Assignee: Amar Kamat > Attachments: hadoop-3578-branch-20-example-2.patch, > hadoop-3578-branch-20-example.patch, HADOOP-3578-v2.6.patch, > HADOOP-3578-v2.7.patch, MAPRED-181-v3.8.patch > > > Currently the jobclient accesses the {{mapred.system.dir}} to add job > details.
