Jason Lowe commented on MAPREDUCE-5641:
---------------------------------------
How will the JHS copy the file to the intermediate directory? It likely won't
have access to the staging directory containing the jhist file.
> History for failed Application Masters should be made available to the Job
> History Server

> Key: MAPREDUCE-5641
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5641
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: applicationmaster, jobhistoryserver
> Affects Versions: 2.2.0
> Reporter: Robert Kanter
> Assignee: Robert Kanter
>
> Currently, the JHS has no information about jobs whose AMs have failed. This
> is because the History is written by the AM to the intermediate folder just
> before finishing, so when it fails for any reason, this information isn't
> copied there. However, it is not lost as its in the AM's staging directory.
> To make the History available in the JHS, all we need to do is have another
> mechanism to move the History from the staging directory to the intermediate
> directory. The AM also writes a "Summary" file before exiting normally,
> which is also unavailable when the AM fails.
