Class JobHistory

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobHistory

    public class JobHistory

extends Object

Provides methods for writing to and reading from job history. Job History works in an append mode, JobHistory and its inner classes provide methods to log job events. JobHistory is split into multiple files, format of each file is plain text where each line is of the format [type (key=value)*], where type identifies the type of the record. Type maps to UID of one of the inner classes of this class. Job history is maintained in a master index which contains star/stop times of all jobs with a few other job level properties. Apart from this each job's history is maintained in a seperate history file. name of job history files follows the format jobtrackerId_jobid For parsing the job history it supports a listener based interface where each line is parsed and passed to listener. The listener can create an object model of history or look for specific events and discard rest of the history. CHANGE LOG : Version 0 : The history has the following format : TAG KEY1="VALUE1" KEY2="VALUE2" and so on. TAG can be Job, Task, MapAttempt or ReduceAttempt. Note that a '"' is the line delimiter. Version 1 : Changes the line delimiter to '.' Values are now escaped for unambiguous parsing. Added the Meta tag to store version info.

Method Detail

### getHistoryFilePath

    public static String getHistoryFilePath(JobID jobId)

  Given the job id, return the history file path from the cache

### init

    public static void init(JobTracker jobTracker,
                            JobConf conf,
                            String hostname,
                            long jobTrackerStartTime)
                     throws IOException

  Initialize JobHistory files.

  Parameters:
    `conf` - Jobconf of the job tracker.
    `hostname` - jobtracker's hostname
    `jobTrackerStartTime` - jobtracker's start time
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### parseHistoryFromFS

    public static void parseHistoryFromFS(String path,

    public static String getTaskLogsUrl(JobHistory.TaskAttempt attempt)

  Return the TaskLogsUrl of a particular TaskAttempt

  Parameters:
    `attempt` -
  Returns:
    the taskLogsUrl. null if http-port or tracker-name or task-attempt-id are unavailable.
