[jira] [Created] (OOZIE-576) Workflow Visualization
Workflow Visualization
----------------------
Key: OOZIE-576
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-576
Project: Oozie
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Jacob Perkins
Priority: Minor
An oozie workflow can naturally be described with a directed graph. It should be possible to create a visual representation of an oozie workflow as such by parsing the workflow definition, resolving any references to sub-workflows, and creating a nested set of classes that describe the full workflow. This description could then be serialized as json and visualized with a javascript library like d3.js (or something along those lines) for display and possibly even interaction.
Important details here include displaying hierarchy (top-level workflow vs. sub-workflow) in a clear way and distinguishing between other types of actions (java, pig, fs, etc..).

[jira] [Commented] (OOZIE-576) Workflow Visualization

Jacob Perkins commented on OOZIE-576:
-------------------------------------
I would really rather not write a parser to create the workflow description/graph structure when oozie must be doing this work internally. Could someone please point me to the classes responsible for this work?
Also, any thoughts on general approach/where it fits?
