[jira] [Commented] (FALCON-501) EL expressions allowed inside of validity

["Ajay Yadav (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FALCON-501?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14217486#comment-14217486 ] 

Ajay Yadav commented on FALCON-501:
-----------------------------------

As discussed in FALCON-898 we shouldn't have an expression like never(). We should make end date optional instead. Please take it up as part of this JIRA as I am closing FALCON-898 as duplicate of this.

> I have a configuration that looks something like this:
>   <clusters>
>     <cluster name="cluster" type="source">
>       <validity start="2014-06-09T13:00Z" end="2016-01-01T00:00Z"/>
>     </cluster>
>   </clusters>
> I would like to have a way to start the job on the day I submitted the job. Right now, processes seem to be playing "catchup" if I don't manually change the start date to the day I submit. 
> It's complicated to have dates changing is such a way. It would be nice to have EL expressions like this:
>   <clusters>
>     <cluster name="cluster" type="source">
>       <validity start="today(0,0)" end="never()"/>
>     </cluster>
>   </clusters>
