[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-322) Need a job control utility to submit
and monitor a group of jobs which have DAG dependency
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-322?page=comments#action_12417636 ]
paul sutter commented on HADOOP-322:
------------------------------------
Would Ant solve the problem, if a few extensions were developed? (such as an extentsion to check for completion metadata in a .completed file)?

> In my applications, some jobs depend on the outputs of other jobs. Therefore, job dependency forms a DAG. A job is ready to run if and only if it does not have any dependency or all the jobs it depends are finished successfully. To help schedule and monitor a group of jobs like that, I am thinking of implementing a utility that:
> - accept jobs with dependency specification
> - monitor job status
> - submit jobs when they are ready
> With such a utility, the application can construct its jobs, specify their dependency and then hand the jobs to the utility class. The utility takes care of the details of job submission.
> I'll post my design skech for comments/suggestion.
> Eventually, I'll submit a patch for the utility.
