Unable to set Custom Job Name using the -Dmapred.job.name parameter -------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: PIG-1124 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1124 Project: Pig Issue Type: Bug Components: impl Affects Versions: 0.6.0 Reporter: Viraj Bhat Priority: Minor Fix For: 0.6.0 As a Hadoop user I want to control the Job name for my analysis via the command line using the following construct:: java -cp pig.jar:$HADOOP_HOME/conf -Dmapred.job.name=hadoop_junkie org.apache.pig.Main broken.pig -Dmapred.job.name should normally set my Hadoop Job name, but somehow during the formation of the job.xml in Pig this information is lost and the job name turns out to be: "PigLatin:broken.pig" The current workaround seems to be wiring it in the script itself, using the following ( or using parameter substitution). set job.name 'my job' Viraj -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
