             Summary: Support "MapReduce" workflow in process entity
                 Key: FALCON-349
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FALCON-349
             Project: Falcon
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: process
            Reporter: Jean-Baptiste Onofré
            Assignee: Jean-Baptiste Onofré


Currently, a process entity supports the following workflow:
- oozie
- pig
- hive

If an user has a "pure" MapReduce job, the only way to use it in Falcon is via the oozie workflow. It means he has to create the workflow.xml describing the nodes (mapred.mapper.class, etc elements).

So, it may look like a overhead for the user who just wants to "schedule" the job/process.

I would propose to create a "mapreduce" workflow, taken directly a MapReduce jar from the filesystem, and behind the hood, create a simple workflow.xml and schedule it in oozie.

Thoughts ?
