             Summary: Changing the JT whitelist causes running Workflows to stay RUNNING forever
                 Key: OOZIE-2142
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-2142
             Project: Oozie
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: core
            Reporter: Robert Kanter
            Assignee: Robert Kanter


If you change the JT whitelist while a workflow is running (and restart Oozie), that workflow will stay RUNNING forever.  The correct behavior should be the same as if the JT is unavailable: Oozie retries a few times and SUSPENDs the workflow.  Then the user should either put it back into the whitelist and resume, or simply kill it.

There might be multiple ways to reproduce, but here's one:
# Submit a workflow that has enough actions to run for a while
# Suspend the workflow
# Change the JT whitelist
# Restart Oozie
# Resume the workflow
You'll get errors about the whitelist, but it won't ever transition out of RUNNING
