Hello, I'm interested in writing a library, to be used with Node.js, that can ask the JobTracker for information about jobs. I see that this is possible using the Java API, with the JobClient interface [1]. I also saw that on the wiki, it mentions that clients can poll the JobTracker for information, but does not go into detail [2]. Is it possible to get information about jobs from the JobTracker using C, or C++, or Thrift, or something else?
Thanks, Ryan 1. http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r1.0.1/mapred_tutorial.html#Job+Submission+and+Monitoring 2. http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/JobTracker
