Oozie Web Services API, V1 (Workflow, Coordinator, And Bundle)

The Oozie Web Services API is a HTTP REST JSON API.

All responses are in UTF-8 .

Assuming Oozie is runing at OOZIE_URL , the following web services end points are supported:

  • /versions
  • /v1/admin
  • /v1/job
  • /v1/jobs
  • /v2/job
  • /v2/jobs
  • /v2/admin
  • /v2/sla

Documentation on the API is below; in some cases, looking at the corresponding command in the Command Line Documentation page will provide additional details and examples. Most of the functionality offered by the Oozie CLI is using the WS API. If you export OOZIE_DEBUG then the Oozie CLI will output the WS API details used by any commands you execute. This is useful for debugging purposes to or see how the Oozie CLI works with the WS API.

Job and Jobs End-Points

Modified in Oozie v1 WS API

These endpoints are for submitting, managing and retrieving information of workflow, coordinator, and bundle jobs.

Job Submission
Standard Job Submission

An HTTP POST request with an XML configuration as payload creates a job.

The type of job is determined by the presence of one of the following 3 properties:

  • oozie.wf.application.path : path to a workflow aplication directory, creates a workflow job
  • oozie.coord.application.path : path to a coordinator application file, creates a coordinator job
  • oozie.bundle.application.path : path to a bundle application file, creates a bundle job

Or, if none of those are present, the jobtype parameter determines the type of job to run. It can either be mapreduce or pig.

Request:

POST /oozie/v1/jobs
Content-Type: application/xml;charset=UTF-8
.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <property>
        <name>user.name</name>
        <value>bansalm</value>
    </property>
    <property>
        <name>oozie.wf.application.path</name>
        <value>hdfs://foo:8020/user/bansalm/myapp/</value>
    </property>
    ...
</configuration>

Response:

HTTP/1.1 201 CREATED
Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8
.
{
  id: "job-3"
}

A created job will be in PREP status. If the query string parameter 'action=start' is provided in the POST URL, the job will be started immediately and its status will be RUNNING .

Coordinator jobs with start time in the future they will not create any action until the start time happens.

A coordinator job will remain in PREP status until it's triggered, in which case it will change to RUNNING status. The 'action=start' parameter is not valid for coordinator jobs.

Proxy MapReduce Job Submission

You can submit a Workflow that contains a single MapReduce action without writing a workflow.xml. Any required Jars or other files must already exist in HDFS.

The following properties are required; any additional parameters needed by the MapReduce job can also be specified here:

  • fs.default.name : The NameNode
  • mapred.job.tracker : The JobTracker
  • mapred.mapper.class : The map-task classname
  • mapred.reducer.class : The reducer-task classname
  • mapred.input.dir : The map-task input directory
  • mapred.output.dir : The reduce-task output directory
  • user.name : The username of the user submitting the job
  • oozie.libpath : A directory in HDFS that contains necessary Jars for your job
  • oozie.proxysubmission : Must be set to true

Request:

Proxy Pig Job Submission

You can submit a Workflow that contains a single Pig action without writing a workflow.xml. Any requred Jars or other files must already exist in HDFS.

The following properties are required:

  • fs.default.name : The NameNode
  • mapred.job.tracker : The JobTracker
  • user.name : The username of the user submitting the job
  • oozie.pig.script : Contains the pig script you want to run (the actual script, not a file path)
  • oozie.libpath : A directory in HDFS that contains necessary Jars for your job
  • oozie.proxysubmission : Must be set to true

The following properties are optional:

  • oozie.pig.script.params.size : The number of parameters you'll be passing to Pig
  • oozie.pig.script.params.n : A parameter (variable definition for the script) in 'key=value' format, the 'n' should be an integer starting with 0 to indicate the parameter number
  • oozie.pig.options.size : The number of options you'll be passing to Pig
  • oozie.pig.options.n : An argument to pass to Pig, the 'n' should be an integer starting with 0 to indicate the option number

The oozie.pig.options.n parameters are sent directly to Pig without any modification unless they start with -D , in which case they are put into the element of the action.

In addition to passing parameters to Pig with oozie.pig.script.params.n , you can also create a properties file on HDFS and reference it with the -param_file option in oozie.pig.script.options.n ; both are shown in the following example.

$ hadoop fs -cat /user/rkanter/pig_params.properties

Re-Runing a coordinator job

A coordinator job in RUNNING SUCCEEDED , KILLED or FAILED status can be partially rerun by specifying the coordinator actions to re-execute.

A rerun request is done with an HTTP PUT request with a coord-rerun action .

The type of the rerun can be date or action .

The scope of the rerun depends on the type: * date : a comma-separated list of date ranges. Each date range element is specified with dates separated by :: * action : a comma-separated list of action ranges. Each action range is specified with two action numbers separated by -

The refresh parameter can be true or false to specify if the user wants to refresh an action's input and output events.

The nocleanp paramter can be true or false to specify is the user wants to cleanup output events for the rerun actions.

Request:

PUT /oozie/v1/job/job-3?action=coord-rerun&type=action&scope=1-2&refresh=false&nocleanup=false
.

or

PUT /oozie/v1/job/job-3?action=coord-rerun&type=date2009-02-01T00:10Z::2009-03-01T00:10Z&scope=&refresh=false&nocleanup=false
.

Response:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Re-Runing a bundle job

A coordinator job in RUNNING SUCCEEDED , KILLED or FAILED status can be partially rerun by specifying the coordinators to re-execute.

A rerun request is done with an HTTP PUT request with a bundle-rerun action .

A comma separated list of coordinator job names (not IDs) can be specified in the coord-scope parameter.

The date-scope parameter is a comma-separated list of date ranges. Each date range element is specified with dates separated by :: . If empty or not included, Oozie will figure this out for you

The refresh parameter can be true or false to specify if the user wants to refresh the coordinator's input and output events.

The nocleanp paramter can be true or false to specify is the user wants to cleanup output events for the rerun coordinators.

Request:

PUT /oozie/v1/job/job-3?action=bundle-rerun&coord-scope=coord-1&refresh=false&nocleanup=false
.

Response:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Changing endtime/concurrency/pausetime of a Coordinator Job

A coordinator job not in KILLED status can have it's endtime, concurrency, or pausetime changed.

A change request is done with an HTTP PUT request with a change action .

The value parameter can contain any of the following: * endtime: the end time of the coordinator job. * concurrency: the concurrency of the coordinator job. * pausetime: the pause time of the coordinator job.

Multiple arguments can be passed to the value parameter by separating them with a ';' character.

If an already-succeeded job changes its end time, its status will become running.

Job Log

An HTTP GET request retrieves the job log.

Request:

GET /oozie/v1/job/job-3?show=log

Response:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8
.
...

Job graph

An HTTP GET request returns the image of the workflow DAG (rendered as a PNG image).

  • The nodes that are being executed are painted yellow
  • The nodes that have successfully executed are painted green
  • The nodes that have failed execution are painted red
  • The nodes that are yet to be executed are pained gray
  • An arc painted green marks the successful path taken so far
  • An arc painted red marks the failure of the node and highlights the error action
  • An arc painted gray marks a path not taken yet

Request:

GET /oozie/v1/job/job-3?show=graph[&show-kill=true]

Response:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: image/png
Content-Length: {image_size_in_bytes}{image_bits}

The optional show-kill parameter shows kill node in the graph. Valid values for this parameter are 1 , yes , and true . This parameter has no effect when workflow fails and the failure node leads to the kill node; in that case kill node is shown always.

The node labels are the node names provided in the workflow XML.

This API returns HTTP 400 when run on a resource other than a workflow, viz. bundle and coordinator.

Jobs Information

A HTTP GET request retrieves workflow and coordinator jobs information.

Request:

GET /oozie/v1/jobs?filter=user%3Dbansalm&offset=1&len=50&timezone=GMT

Note that the filter is URL encoded, its decoded value is user=bansalm .

Response:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

No action information is returned when querying for multiple jobs.

The syntax for the filter is

[NAME=VALUE][;NAME=VALUE]*

Valid filter names are:

  • name: the application name from the workflow/coordinator/bundle definition
  • user: the user that submitted the job
  • group: the group for the job
  • status: the status of the job

The query will do an AND among all the filter names.

The query will do an OR among all the filter values for the same name. Multiple values must be specified as different name value pairs.

Additionally the offset and len parameters can be used for pagination. The start parameter is base 1.

Moreover, the jobtype parameter could be used to determine what type of job is looking for. The valid values of job type are: wf , coordinator or bundle .

Jobs information using Bulk API

A HTTP GET request retrieves a bulk response for all actions, corresponding to a particular bundle, that satisfy user specified criteria. This is useful for monitoring purposes, where user can find out about the status of downstream jobs with a single bulk request. The criteria are used for filtering the actions returned. Valid options (_case insensitive_) for these request criteria are:

  • bundle : the application name from the bundle definition
  • coordinators : the application name(s) from the coordinator definition.
  • actionStatus : the status of coordinator action (Valid values are WAITING, READY, SUBMITTED, RUNNING, SUSPENDED, TIMEDOUT, SUCCEEDED, KILLED, FAILED)
  • startCreatedTime : the start of the window you want to look at, of the actions' created time
  • endCreatedTime : the end of above window
  • startScheduledTime : the start of the window you want to look at, of the actions' scheduled i.e. nominal time.
  • endScheduledTime : the end of above window

Specifying 'bundle' is REQUIRED. All the rest are OPTIONAL but that might result in thousands of results depending on the size of your job. (pagination comes into play then)

If no 'actionStatus' values provided, by default KILLED,FAILED will be used. For e.g if the query string is only "bundle=MyBundle", the response will have all actions (across all coordinators) whose status is KILLED or FAILED

The query will do an AND among all the filter names, and OR among each filter name's values.

The syntax for the request criteria is

[NAME=VALUE][;NAME=VALUE]*

For 'coordinators' and 'actionStatus', if user wants to check for multiple values, they can be passed in a comma-separated manner. *Note*: The query will do an OR among them. Hence no need to repeat the criteria name

All the time values should be specified in ISO8601 (UTC) format i.e. yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm'Z'

Additionally the offset and len parameters can be used as usual for pagination. The start parameter is base 1.

If you specify a coordinator in the list, that does not exist, no error is thrown; simply the response will be empty or pertaining to the other valid coordinators. However, if bundle name provided does not exist, an error is thrown.

Request:

GET /oozie/v1/jobs?bulk=bundle%3Dmy-bundle-app;coordinators%3Dmy-coord-1,my-coord-5;actionStatus%3DKILLED&offset=1&len=50

Note that the filter is URL encoded, its decoded value is user=chitnis . If typing in browser URL, one can type decoded value itself i.e. using '='

Oozie Web Services API, V2 (Workflow , Coordinator And Bundle)

The Oozie Web Services API is a HTTP REST JSON API.

All responses are in UTF-8 .

Assuming Oozie is runing at OOZIE_URL , the following web services end points are supported:

  • /versions
  • /v2/admin
  • /v2/job
  • /v2/jobs

Changes in v2 job API:

There is a difference in the JSON format of Job Information API (*/job) particularly for map-reduce action. No change for other actions. In v1, externalId and consoleUrl point to spawned child job ID, and exteranlChildIDs is null in map-reduce action. In v2, externalId and consoleUrl point to launcher job ID, and exteranlChildIDs is spawned child job ID in map-reduce action.

v2 supports retrieving of JMS topic on which job notifications are sent

REST API URL:

GET http://localhost:11000/oozie/v2/job/0000002-130507145349661-oozie-vira-W?show=jmstopic

Changes in v2 admin API:

v2 adds support for retrieving JMS connection information related to JMS notifications.

REST API URL:

GET http://localhost:11000/oozie/v2/admin/jmsinfo

v2/jobs remain the same as v1/jobs

Job and Jobs End-Points
