Li Lu commented on YARN-4074: ----------------------------- I'd incline to use the latter approach to retrieve flows and flow runs, since we don't actually differentiate them on the backend. I also incline to keep the RESTful API layer simple, and to wrap it with a js native library for web UIs. In this way we can separate the process of TimelineEntity retrieval and the context of the timeline entities (e.g. is it a flow, or a application, or a DAG of applications?). It's also much easier to maintain this interface IMO. > [timeline reader] implement support for querying for flows and flow runs > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: YARN-4074 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-4074 > Project: Hadoop YARN > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: timelineserver > Affects Versions: YARN-2928 > Reporter: Sangjin Lee > Assignee: Sangjin Lee > > Implement support for querying for flows and flow runs. > We should be able to query for the most recent N flows, etc. > This includes changes to the {{TimelineReader}} API if necessary, as well as > implementation of the API. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
