[jira] [Commented] (FALCON-349) Support "MapReduce" workflow in
process entity
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FALCON-349?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13931657#comment-13931657 ]
Srikanth Sundarrajan commented on FALCON-349:
---------------------------------------------
+1 for the feature. [~svenkat] already suggested this while implementing the pig engine option. It would be a good addition.

> 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 ?
