How can an oozie coordinator app reload coordinator.xml and workflow.xml?

[Eduardo Afonso Ferreira <ea...@yahoo.com>]

Hi there,

Is there a way for oozie to reload the config files (coordinator.xml, workflow.xml) after it has been submitted, it's running or in whatever state?

Thank you.
Eduardo.

Hey, Mohammad,


I'm doing a lot of changes to my coordinators and there are some properties I thought had to or could be defined at the coordinator level and due to having to change them frequently I thought it would be nice if I could just notify oozie to reload their settings.

But I think it's not a big deal, once my coordinators are stabilized, i.e. I will not need to do many changes to settings anymore, there will be no need for that. And I can always kill the coordinator jobs and submit new ones with the new settings.

Some of the properties I had initially added to the coordinator, are actually related to the workflows, so I just moved them to the workflow.xml files and I figure out that once you push the new workflow files to HDFS, they get picked up by oozie the next time jobs are materialized or started.


I have been using the -change option frequently to modify concurrency depending on load.

Thank you for the quick response.
Eduardo.

Hi Eduardo,
There is no way to reload the XML file after submission.
There is a limited way of modifying some of the control parameters of coordinator.xml through oozie command "-change" option.

If possible, can you please explain your use-case little more details?

Regards,
Mohammad
