Arun C Murthy reopened MAPREDUCE-4355: -------------------------------------- I'm sorry, but we *cannot* make an incompatible change to JobClient which is a public API, at least in hadoop-1.x -1 on this change. This will break a number of existing apis. It seems we cud just add start-time to RunningJob if necessary. Alejandro - do you mind reverting this change since it breaks compatibility? Thanks. > Add JobStatus getJobStatus(JobID) to JobClient. > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-4355 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4355 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: mrv1, mrv2 > Affects Versions: 1.0.3, 2.0.0-alpha > Reporter: Karthik Kambatla > Assignee: Karthik Kambatla > Fix For: 1.1.0, 2.0.1-alpha > > Attachments: MR-4355_mr1.patch, MR-4355_mr2.patch > > > To read the start-time of a particular job, one should not need to > getAllJobs() and iterate through them. > getJob(JobID) returns RunningJob, which doesn't hold the job's start time. > Hence, we need to add getJobStatus(JobID) to the API. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
