Arun C Murthy commented on MAPREDUCE-4346: ------------------------------------------ bq. As I highlighted in the ticket description above: The JobClient only exposes a getAllJobs() which returns all submitted jobs in any state, the result also includes all retired jobs. This list is long and represents an unneeded overhead especially in the case of clients only interested in jobs in specific states. Ahmed I'm not convinced. Yes, it's bit more overhead, but I don't see how adding a new public api is going to make significant difference. IAC, if you set completed jobs to 0, you'll not get retired jobs. Unless I hear a more compelling argument I'm -1 on this. Also, please remember that this API is fairly hard to support with YARN, so that is another problem. > Adding a refined version of JobTracker.getAllJobs() and exposing through the > JobClient > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-4346 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4346 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: mrv1 > Reporter: Ahmed Radwan > Assignee: Ahmed Radwan > Attachments: MAPREDUCE-4346.patch, MAPREDUCE-4346_rev2.patch, > MAPREDUCE-4346_rev3.patch, MAPREDUCE-4346_rev4.patch > > > The current implementation for JobTracker.getAllJobs() returns all submitted > jobs in any state, in addition to retired jobs.
