Command Line Interface Utilities

Introduction

Oozie provides a command line utility, oozie , to perform job and admin tasks. All operations are done via sub-commands of the oozie CLI.

The oozie CLI interacts with Oozie via its WS API.

Oozie Command Line Usage

usage:
      the env variable 'OOZIE_URL' is used as default value for the '-oozie' option
      the env variable 'OOZIE_TIMEZONE' is used as default value for the '-timezone' option
      the env variable 'OOZIE_AUTH' is used as default value for the '-auth' option
      custom headers for Oozie web services can be specified using '-Dheader:NAME=VALUE'      oozie help : display usage

Common CLI Options

Authentication

The oozie CLI automatically perform authentication if the Oozie server requests it. By default it supports both pseudo/simple authentication and Kerberos HTTP SPNEGO authentication.

To perform a specific authentication, the auth option with authentication type requests Oozie client to run the specified authentication mechanism only. Oozie client provides two types simple and kerberos which supports pseudo/simple and Kerberos .

For pseudo/simple authentication the oozie CLI uses the user name of the current OS user.

For Kerberos HTTP SPNEGO authentication the oozie CLI uses the default principal for the OS Kerberos cache (normally the principal that did kinit ).

Oozie uses Apache Hadoop-Auth (Java HTTP SPENGO) library for authentication. This library can be extended to support other authentication mechanisms.

Once authentication is performed successfully the received authentication token is cached in the user home directory in the .oozie-auth-token file with owner-only permissions. Subsequent requests reuse the cached token while valid.

The use of the cache file can be disabled by invoking the oozie CLI with the -Doozie.auth.token.cache false= option.

To use an custom authentication mechanism, a Hadoop-Auth Authenticator implementation must be specified with the -Dauthenticator.class =CLASS option.

Impersonation, doAs

The -doas option allows the current user to impersonate other users when interacting with the Oozie system. The current user must be configured as a proxyuser in the Oozie system. The proxyuser configuration may restrict from which hosts a user may impersonate users, as well as users of which groups can be impersonated.

Oozie URL

All oozie CLI sub-commands expect the -oozie OOZIE_URL option indicating the URL of the Oozie system to run the command against.

If the -oozie option is not specified, the oozie CLI will look for the OOZIE_URL environment variable and uses it if set.

If the option is not provided and the environment variable is not set, the oozie CLI will fail.

Time zone

The -timezone TIME_ZONE_ID option in the job and jobs sub-commands allows you to specify the time zone to use in the output of those sub-commands. The TIME_ZONE_ID should be one of the standard Java Time Zone IDs. You can get a list of the available time zones with the command oozie info -timezones .

If the -localtime option is used, it will cause Oozie to use whatever the time zone is of the machine. If both -localtime and -timezone TIME_ZONE_ID are used, the -localtime option will override the -timezone TIME_ZONE_ID option. If neither option is given, Oozie will look for the OOZIE_TIMEZONE environment variable and uses it if set. If neither option is given and the environment variable is not set, or if Oozie is given an invalid time zone, it will use GMT.

Debug Mode

If you export OOZIE_DEBUG=1 then the Oozie CLI will output the Web Services 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.

CLI retry

Oozie CLI retries connection to Oozie servers for transparent high availability failover when one of the Oozie servers go down. =Oozie= CLI command will retry for all commands in case of ConnectException. In case of SocketException, all commands except PUT and POST will have retry logic. All job submit are POST call, examples of PUT and POST commands can be find out from WebServicesAPI . Retry count can be configured with system property oozie.connection.retry.count . Default count is 4.

Job Operations

Submitting a Workflow, Coordinator or Bundle Job

* Submitting bundle feature is only supported in Oozie 3.0 or later. Similarly, all bundle operation features below are only supported in Oozie 3.0 or later.

Example:

$ oozie job -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie -config job.properties -submit
.
job: 14-20090525161321-oozie-joe

The parameters for the job must be provided in a file, either a Java Properties file (.properties) or a Hadoop XML Configuration file (.xml). This file must be specified with the -config option.

The workflow application path must be specified in the file with the oozie.wf.application.path property. The coordinator application path must be specified in the file with the oozie.coord.application.path property.The bundle application path must be specified in the file with the oozie.bundle.application.path property. Specified path must be an HDFS path.

The job will be created, but it will not be started, it will be in PREP status.

Starting a Workflow, Coordinator or Bundle Job

Example:

$ oozie job -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie -start 14-20090525161321-oozie-joe

The start option starts a previously submitted workflow job, coordinator job or bundle job that is in PREP status.

After the command is executed the workflow job will be in RUNNING status, coordinator job will be in RUNNING status and bundle job will be in RUNNING status.

Running a Workflow, Coordinator or Bundle Job

Example:

$ oozie job -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie -config job.properties -run
.
job: 15-20090525161321-oozie-joe

The run option creates and starts a workflow job, coordinator job or bundle job.

The parameters for the job must be provided in a file, either a Java Properties file (.properties) or a Hadoop XML Configuration file (.xml). This file must be specified with the -config option.

The workflow application path must be specified in the file with the oozie.wf.application.path property. The coordinator application path must be specified in the file with the oozie.coord.application.path property. The bundle application path must be specified in the file with the oozie.bundle.application.path property.The specified path must be an HDFS path.

The job will be created and it will started, the job will be in RUNNING status.

Suspending a Workflow, Coordinator or Bundle Job

Example:

$ oozie job -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie -suspend 14-20090525161321-oozie-joe

The suspend option suspends a workflow job in RUNNING status. After the command is executed the workflow job will be in SUSPENDED status.

The suspend option suspends a coordinator/bundle job in RUNNING , RUNNIINGWITHERROR or PREP status. When the coordinator job is suspended, running coordinator actions will stay in running and the workflows will be suspended. If the coordinator job is in RUNNING status, it will transit to SUSPENDED status; if it is in RUNNINGWITHERROR status, it will transit to SUSPENDEDWITHERROR ; if it is in PREP status, it will transit to PREPSUSPENDED status.

When the bundle job is suspended, running coordinators will be suspended. If the bundle job is in RUNNING status, it will transit to SUSPENDED status; if it is in RUNNINGWITHERROR status, it will transit to SUSPENDEDWITHERROR ; if it is in PREP status, it will transit to PREPSUSPENDED status.

Resuming a Workflow, Coordinator or Bundle Job

Example:

$ oozie job -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie -resume 14-20090525161321-oozie-joe

The resume option resumes a workflow job in SUSPENDED status.

After the command is executed the workflow job will be in RUNNING status.

The suspend option suspends a coordinator/bundle job in SUSPENDED , SUSPENDEDWITHERROR or PREPSUSPENDED status. If the coordinator job is in SUSPENDED status, it will transit to RUNNING status; if it is in SUSPENDEDWITHERROR status, it will transit to RUNNINGWITHERROR ; if it is in PREPSUSPENDED status, it will transit to PREP status.

When the coordinator job is resumed it will create all the coordinator actions that should have been created during the time it was suspended, actions will not be lost, they will delayed.

When the bundle job is resumed, suspended coordinators will resume running. If the bundle job is in SUSPENDED status, it will transit to RUNNING status; if it is in SUSPENDEDWITHERROR status, it will transit to RUNNINGWITHERROR ; if it is in PREPSUSPENDED status, it will transit to PREP status.

Killing a Workflow, Coordinator or Bundle Job

Example:

$ oozie job -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie -kill 14-20090525161321-oozie-joe

The kill option kills a workflow job in PREP , SUSPENDED or RUNNING status and a coordinator/bundle job in =PREP=, RUNNING , PREPSUSPENDED , SUSPENDED , PREPPAUSED , or PAUSED status.

After the command is executed the job will be in KILLED status.

Killing a Coordinator Action or Multiple Actions

Example:

$oozie job -kill <coord_Job_id> [-action 1, 3-4, 7-40] [-date 2009-01-01T01:00Z::2009-05-31T23:59Z, 2009-11-10T01:00Z, 2009-12-31T22:00Z]

  • The kill option here for a range of coordinator actions kills a non-terminal (=RUNNING=, WAITING , READY , SUSPENDED ) coordinator action when coordinator job is not in FAILED or KILLED state.
  • Either -action or -date should be given.
  • If neither -action nor -date is given, the exception will be thrown. Also if BOTH -action and -date are given, an error will be thrown.
  • Multiple ranges can be used in -action or -date. See the above example.
  • If one of the actions in the given list of -action is already in terminal state, the output of this command will only include the other actions.
  • The dates specified in -date must be UTC.
  • Single date specified in -date must be able to find an action with matched nominal time to be effective.
  • After the command is executed the killed coordiator action will have KILLED status.

Changing endtime/concurrency/pausetime/status of a Coordinator Job

Example:

$ oozie job -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie -change 14-20090525161321-oozie-joe -value endtime=2011-12-01T05:00Z\;concurrency=100\;2011-10-01T05:00Z
$ oozie job -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie -change 0000001-140321155112907-oozie-puru-C  -value status=RUNNING

The endtime/concurrency/pausetime option changes a coordinator job that is not in KILLED status.

Valid value names are:

  • endtime: the end time of the coordinator job.
  • concurrency: the concurrency of the coordinator job.
  • pausetime: the pause time of the coordinator job.
  • status: new status for coordinator job.

Conditions and usage:

  • Repeated value names are not allowed.
  • New end time should not be before job's start time and last action time.
  • If end time is before job start time and if the job has not materialized any actions, then job status is changed to SUCCEEDED.
  • Currently status only takes RUNNING and can be used to change the status of FAILED, KILLED, IGNORED coordinator job to RUNNING and resuming materialization. This status change command does not affect the status of already materialized actions in the coordinator. If there are FAILED, KILLED or IGNORED coordinator actions they have to be rerun separately.
  • New concurrency value has to be a valid integer.
  • All lookahead actions which are in WAITING/READY state will be revoked according to the new pause/end time. If any action after new pause/end time is not in WAITING/READY state, an exception will be thrown.
  • Also empty string "" can be used to reset pause time to none.
  • Endtime/concurency/pausetime of IGNORED Job cannot be changed.

After the command is executed the job's end time, concurrency or pause time should be changed. If an already-succeeded job changes its end time, its status will become running.

Changing endtime/pausetime of a Bundle Job

Example:

$ oozie job -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie -change 14-20090525161321-oozie-joe -value pausetime=2011-12-01T05:00Z

The change option changes a bundle job that is not in KILLED status.

Valid value names are:

  • pausetime: the pause time of the bundle job.
  • endtime: the end time of the bundle job.

Repeated value names are not allowed. An empty string "" can be used to reset pause time to none. New end time should not be before job's kickoff time.

Changing endtime/pausetime of a Bundle Job

Example:

$ oozie job -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie -change 14-20090525161321-oozie-joe -value pausetime=2011-12-01T05:00Z

The change option changes a bundle job that is not in KILLED status.

Valid value names are:

  • pausetime: the pause time of the bundle job.
  • endtime: the end time of the bundle job.

Repeated value names are not allowed. An empty string "" can be used to reset pause time to none. New end time should not be before job's kickoff time.

Bundle will execute pause/end date change command on each coordinator job. Refer conditions and usage section of coordinator change command for more details Coordinator job change command .

Rerunning a Workflow Job

Example:

$ oozie job -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie -config job.properties -rerun 14-20090525161321-oozie-joe

The rerun option reruns a completed ( SUCCCEDED , FAILED or KILLED ) job skipping the specified nodes.

The parameters for the job must be provided in a file, either a Java Properties file (.properties) or a Hadoop XML Configuration file (.xml). This file must be specified with the -config option.

The workflow application path must be specified in the file with the oozie.wf.application.path property. The specified path must be an HDFS path.

The list of nodes to skipped must be provided in the oozie.wf.rerun.skip.nodes property separated by commas.

After the command is executed the job will be in RUNNING status.

Refer to the Rerunning Workflow Jobs for details on rerun.

Rerunning a Coordinator Action or Multiple Actions

Example:

$oozie job -rerun <coord_Job_id> [-nocleanup] [-refresh]
[-action 1, 3-4, 7-40] (-action or -date is required to rerun.)
[-date 2009-01-01T01:00Z::2009-05-31T23:59Z, 2009-11-10T01:00Z, 2009-12-31T22:00Z]
(if neither -action nor -date is given, the exception will be thrown.)

The rerun option reruns a terminated (=TIMEDOUT=, SUCCEEDED , KILLED , FAILED , IGNORED ) coordinator action when coordinator job is not in FAILED or KILLED state.

After the command is executed the rerun coordinator action will be in WAITING status.

Refer to the Rerunning Coordinator Actions for details on rerun.

Rerunning a Bundle Job

Example:

$oozie job -rerun <bundle_Job_id> [-nocleanup] [-refresh]
[-coordinator c1, c3, c4] (-coordinator or -date is required to rerun.)
[-date 2009-01-01T01:00Z::2009-05-31T23:59Z, 2009-11-10T01:00Z, 2009-12-31T22:00Z]
(if neither -coordinator nor -date is given, the exception will be thrown.)

The rerun option reruns coordinator actions belonging to specified coordinators within the specified date range.

After the command is executed the rerun coordinator action will be in WAITING status.

Checking the Information and Status of a Workflow, Coordinator or Bundle Job or a Coordinator Action

The info option can display information about a workflow job or coordinator job or coordinator action. The info option for a Coordinator job will retrieve the Coordinator actions ordered by nominal time. However, the info command may timeout if the number of Coordinator actions are very high. In that case, info should be used with offset and len option.

The offset and len option should be used for pagination. offset determines the start offset of the action returned among all the actions that matched the filter criteria. len determines number of actions to be returned.

The localtime option displays times in local time, if not specified times are displayed in GMT.

The filter option can be used to filter coordinator actions based on some criteria. The filter option syntax is: [;]* . (Note escape \ needed before semicolon to specify multiple names for filter in shell) key: status or nominalTime comparator: , ! , <, <=, >, >= value: valid status like SUCCEEDED, KILLED, RUNNING etc. Only and ! apply for status value for nominalTime is valid date of the format yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm'Z' (like 2014-06-01T00:00Z)

Multiple values must be specified as different name value pairs. The query is formed by doing AND of all conditions, with the exception of which uses OR if there are multiple values for the same key. For example, filter 'status RUNNING;status=WAITING;nominalTime>=2014-06-01T00:00Z' maps to query (status RUNNING OR status = WAITING) AND nominalTime > 2014-06-01T00:00Z which returns all waiting or running actions with nominalTime >= 2014-06-01T00:00Z.

Currently, the filter option can be used only with an info option on Coordinator job.

The verbose option gives more detailed information for all the actions, if checking for workflow job or coordinator job. An example below shows how the verbose option can be used to gather action statistics information for a job:

External ChildIDs : null
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The two fields External Stats and External ChildIDs display the action statistics information (that includes counter information in case of MR action and PigStats information in case of a pig action) and child ids of the given job.

Note that the user can turn on/off External Stats by specifying the property oozie.action.external.stats.write as true or false in workflow.xml. By default, it is set to false (not to collect External Stats). External ChildIDs will always be stored.

Listing all the Workflows for a Coordinator Action

A coordinator action kicks off different workflows for its original run and all subsequent reruns. Getting a list of those workflow ids is a useful tool to keep track of your actions' runs and to go debug the workflow job logs if required. Along with ids, it also lists their statuses, and start and end times for quick reference.

This is achieved by using the Coordinator Action info command and specifying a flag *=allruns=* along with the info command.

$ oozie job -info 0000001-111219170928042-oozie-joe-C@1 -allruns -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie

Checking the xml definition of a Workflow, Coordinator or Bundle Job

Example:

$ oozie job -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie -definition 14-20090525161321-oozie-joe<workflow-app xmlns="uri:oozie:workflow:0.2" name="sm3-segment-2413">
	<start to="p0"/>
    <action name="p0">
    </action>
	<end name="end"/>
</workflow-app>

Checking the server logs of a Workflow, Coordinator or Bundle Job

Example:

$ oozie job -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie -log 14-20090525161321-oozie-joe

Checking the server logs for particular actions of a Coordinator Job

Example:

$ oozie job -log <coord_job_id> [-action 1, 3-4, 7-40] (-action is optional.)

Filtering the server logs with logfilter options

User can provide multiple option to filter logs using -logfilter opt1=val1;opt2=val1;opt3=val1. This can be used to fetch only just logs of interest faster as fetching Oozie server logs is slow due to the overhead of pattern matching. Available options are:

  • recent: Specify recent hours/min of logs to scan. The recent offset specified is taken relative to the end time specified, job end time or the current system time if the job is still running in that order of precedence. For eg: recent=3h or recent=30m will fetch logs starting 3 hours/30 minutes before the end time and up to the end time. H/h is used to denote hour and M/m is used to denote minutes. If no suffix is specified default is hours.
  • start: Start time for scanning logs. Default is start time of the job. User can provide a valid date or offset similar to recent option. Valid date formats are "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm'Z'" and "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS". When an offset is specified, it is calculated relative to the start time of the job. For eg: start=2h will fetch logs starting 2 hours after the job was started.
  • end: End time for scanning logs. Default is end time of the job or current system time if the job is still running. User can provide a valid date or offset similar to start option. When an offset is specified, it is calculated relative to start time i.e job start time . For eg: end=2h will fetch logs from start time and start time plus 2 hours.
  • loglevel : Multiple log levels separated by "|" can be specified. Supported log levels are ALL, DEBUG, ERROR, INFO, TRACE, WARN, FATAL.
  • text: String to search in logs.
  • limit : Limit number of line to be searched. Log search will end when when n lines(excluding stack-trace) have been matched.
  • debug : Prints debug information on the log files, time ranges and patterns being searched for. Can be used to debug if expected logs are not shown with the filter options provided.

Examples. Searching log with log level ERROR or WARN will only give log with Error and Warning (with stack-trace) only. This will be useful if job has failed and user want to find error logs with exception.

The dryrun option tests running a coordinator job with given job properties and does not create the job.

The parameters for the job must be provided in a file, either a Java Properties file (.properties) or a Hadoop XML Configuration file (.xml). This file must be specified with the -config option.

The coordinator application path must be specified in the file with the oozie.coord.application.path property. The specified path must be an HDFS path.

Dryrun of Workflow Job

* This feature is only supported in Oozie 3.3.2 or later.

Example:

$ oozie job -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie -dryrun -config job.properties
OK

The dryrun option tests running a workflow job with given job properties and does not create the job.

The parameters for the job must be provided in a file, either a Java Properties file (.properties) or a Hadoop XML Configuration file (.xml). This file must be specified with the -config option.

The workflow application path must be specified in the file with the oozie.wf.application.path property. The specified path must be an HDFS path.

If the workflow is accepted (i.e. Oozie is able to successfully read and parse it), it will return "OK" ; otherwise, it will return an error message describing why it was rejected.

Updating coordinator definition and properties

Existing coordinator definition will be replaced by new definition. The refreshed coordinator would keep the same coordinator ID, state, and coordinator actions. All created coord action(including in WAITING) will use old configuration. One can rerun actions with -refresh option, -refresh option will use new configuration to rerun coord action

Update command also verifies coordinator definition like submit command, if there is any issue with definition, update will fail. Update command with -dryrun will show coordinator definition and properties differences. Config option is optional, if not specified existing coordinator property is used to find coordinator path.

Update command doesn't allow update of coordinator name, frequency, start time, end time and timezone and will fail on an attempt to change any of them. To change end time of coordinator use the -change command

$ oozie job -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie -config job.properties -update 0000005-140402104721140-oozie-puru-C -dryrun**********Job definition changes**********

Ignore a Coordinator Job

Example:

$oozie job -ignore <coord_Job_id>

The ignore option changes a coordinator job in KILLED , FAILED to IGNORED state. When a coordinator job in a bundle is in IGNORED state, the coordinator job doesn't impact the state of the bundle job. For example, when a coordinator job in a bundle failed and afterwards ignored, the bundle job becomes SUCCEEDED instead of DONEWITHERROR as long as other coordinator jobs in the bundle succeeded. A ignored coordinator job can be changed to RUNNING using -change command. Refer to the Coordinator job change command for details.

Ignore a Coordinator Action or Multiple Coordinator Actions

Example:

$oozie job -ignore <coord_Job_id> -action 1,3-4,7-40
The ignore option changes a coordinator action(s) in terminal state (=KILLED=, FAILED , TIMEDOUT ) to IGNORED state, while not changing the state of the coordinator job. When a coordinator action is in IGNORED state, the action doesn't impact the state of a coordinator job. For example, when a coordinator action failed and afterwards ignored, a coordinator job becomes SUCCEEDED instead of DONEWITHERROR as long as other coordinator actions succeeded.

A ignored coordinator action can be rerun using -rerun command. Refer to the Rerunning Coordinator Actions for details. When a workflow job of a ignored coordinator action is rerun, the coordinator action becomes RUNNING state.

Jobs Operations

Checking the Status of multiple Workflow Jobs

Example:

$ oozie jobs -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie -localtime -len 2 -filter status=RUNNING

The jobs sub-command will display information about multiple jobs.

The offset and len option specified the offset and number of jobs to display, default values are 1 and 100 respectively.

The localtime option displays times in local time, if not specified times are displayed in GMT.

The verbose option gives more detailed information for each job.

A filter can be specified after all options.

The filter option syntax is: [NAME=VALUE][;NAME=VALUE]* .

Valid filter names are:

  • name: the workflow application name from the workflow definition.
  • user: the user that submitted the job.
  • group: the group for the job.
  • status: the status of the job.
  • frequency: the frequency of the Coordinator job.
  • unit: the time unit. It can take one of the following four values: months, days, hours or minutes. Time unit should be added only when frequency is specified.

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.

Checking the Status of multiple Coordinator Jobs

Bulk monitoring for jobs launched via Bundles

This command-line query helps to directly query for a bulk of jobs using a set of rich filters. The jobs need to have a parent *Bundle , and this performs a deep query to provide results about all the workflows that satisfy your filters. These results display relevant job-ids, app-names, and error message (if any) and are most helpful when you need to monitor a bulk of jobs and get a gist, while avoiding typing multiple queries.

This feature is only supported in Oozie 3.3 or later.

Example 1:

$ oozie jobs -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie -bulk bundle=bundle-app-1
.
Bundle Name  Bundle ID                             Coord Name  Coord Action ID                         External ID                            Status    Created Time          Error Message

You can type 'help' to view usage for the CLI options and filters available. Namely:

  • bundle: Bundle app-name (mandatory)
  • coordinators: multiple, comma-separated Coordinator app-names. By default, if none specified, all coordinators pertaining to the bundle are included
  • actionstatus: status of jobs (default job-type is coordinator action aka workflow job) you wish to filter on. Default value is (KILLED,FAILED)
  • startcreatedtime/endcreatedtime: specify boundaries for the created-time. Only jobs created within this window are included.
  • startscheduledtime/endscheduledtime: specify boundaries for the nominal-time. Only jobs scheduled to run within this window are included.

$ oozie jobs <OPTIONS> : jobs status
                 -bulk <arg>       key-value pairs to filter bulk jobs response. e.g.
                                   bundle=<B>\;coordinators=<C>\;actionstatus=<S>\;
                                   startcreatedtime=<SC>\;endcreatedtime=<EC>\;
                                   startscheduledtime=<SS>\;endscheduledtime=<ES>\;
                                   coordinators and actionstatus can be multiple comma
                                   separated values. "bundle" and "coordinators" are 'names' of those jobs.
                                   Bundle name is mandatory, other params are optional

Similar to the usual jobs filter, different filter arguments here should be separated by semicolon (;).

Admin Operations

Checking the Status of the Oozie System

Example:

$ oozie admin -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie -status
.
Safemode: OFF

It returns the current status of the Oozie system.

Changing the Status of the Oozie System

* This feature is only supported in Oozie 2.0 or later.

Example:

$ oozie admin -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie -systemmode [NORMAL|NOWEBSERVICE|SAFEMODE]
.
Safemode: ON

It returns the current status of the Oozie system.

Displaying the Build Version of the Oozie System

Example:

(coord_action_ready,1)
(action.check,2)

It returns the Oozie server current queued commands.

Displaying the list of available Oozie Servers

Example:

$ oozie admin -oozie http://hostA:11000/oozie -servers
hostA : http://hostA:11000/oozie
hostB : http://hostB:11000/oozie
hostC : http://hostC:11000/oozie

It returns a list of available Oozie Servers. This is useful when Oozie is configured for High Availability ; if not, it will simply return the one Oozie Server.

Validate Operations

Validating a Workflow XML

Example:

$ oozie validate myApp/workflow.xml
.
Error: Invalid workflow-app, org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-complex-type.2.4.a:
       Invalid content was found starting with element 'xend'. One of '{"uri:oozie:workflow:0.1":decision,
       "uri:oozie:workflow:0.1":fork, "uri:oozie:workflow:0.1":join, "uri:oozie:workflow:0.1":kill,
       "uri:oozie:workflow:0.1":action, "uri:oozie:workflow:0.1":end}' is expected.

It performs an XML Schema validation on the specified workflow XML file.

Getting list of available sharelib

This command is used to get list of available sharelib. If the name of the sharelib is passed as an argument (regex supported) then all corresponding files are also listed.

      <job-data />
    </status>
  </event>
  <last-sequence-id>3</last-sequence-id>
</sla-message>

The offset and len option specified the offset and number of sla events to display, default values are 1 and 100 respectively.

The offset corresponds to sequence ID of an event.

The max value of len limited by oozie server setting which defaults to '1000'. To get more than 1000 events, it is necessary to iterate based on the number of records you want.

The return message is XML format that can be easily consumed by SLA users.

Getting the SLA event with particular sequenceID

* This feature is only supported in Oozie 2.0 or later.

Example: Get the SLA event with sequenceID = 3 (Note that offset corresponds to sequence ID)

$ oozie sla -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie -offset 2 -len 1

</sla-message>

A filter can be specified after all options.

The filter option syntax is: [NAME=VALUE][\;NAME=VALUE]* . Note \ before semi-colon is for escape.

Valid filter names are:

  • jobid: workflow action/job id, coordinator action/job id
  • appname: the coordinator/workflow application name

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.

Pig Operations

Submitting a pig job through HTTP

Syntax:

$ oozie pig -file PIG-SCRIPT -config OOZIE-CONFIG [-Dkey=value] [-Pkey=value] [-X [-Dkey=value opts for Launcher/Job configuration] [Other opts to pass to Pig]]

Example:

$ oozie pig -file pigScriptFile -config job.properties -Dfs.default.name=hdfs://localhost:8020 -PINPUT=/user/me/in -POUTPUT=/user/me/out -X -Dmapred.job.queue.name=UserQueue -param_file params
.

mapreduce.jobtracker.kerberos.principal=ccc
dfs.namenode.kerberos.principal=ddd
oozie.libpath=hdfs://localhost:8020/user/oozie/pig/lib/

The parameters for the job must be provided in a Java Properties file (.properties). jobtracker, namenode, libpath must be specified in this file. pigScriptFile is a local file. All jar files (including pig jar file) and all other files needed by the pig job (e.g., parameter file in above example) need to be uploaded onto HDFS under libpath beforehand. In addition to a parameter file, specifying script parameters can be done via -Pkey=value. The workflow.xml will be created in Oozie server internally. Users can get the workflow.xml from console or command line(-definition). The -D options passed after the -X will be placed into the generated workflow's elements (and make it to the configuration used by Pig); any other opts after -X will be passed as-is to the invoked Pig program. Multiple -D and -P arguments can be specified.

The job will be created and run right away.

Hive Operations

Sqoop Freeform Example:

$ oozie sqoop -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie -command import --connect jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/oozie --username oozie --password oozie --query "SELECT a.id FROM WF_JOBS a WHERE \$CONDITIONS" --target-dir '/user/${wf:user()}/${examplesRoot}/output-data/sqoop' -m 1 -config job.properties -X -Dmapred.job.queue.name=default
.
job: 14-20090525161321-oozie-joe-W
.
$cat job.properties
fs.default.name=hdfs://localhost:8020
mapreduce.jobtracker.kerberos.principal=ccc
dfs.namenode.kerberos.principal=ddd
oozie.libpath=hdfs://localhost:8020/user/oozie/sqoop/lib/

The parameters for the job must be provided in a Java Properties file (.properties). jobtracker, namenode, libpath must be specified in this file. All jar files (including sqoop jar file) and all other files needed by the sqoop job need to be uploaded onto HDFS under libpath beforehand. The workflow.xml will be created in Oozie server internally. Users can get the workflow.xml from console or command line(-definition). The -D options passed after the -X will be placed into the generated workflow's elements (and make it to the configuration used by Sqoop); Multiple -D arguments can be specified.

The job will be created and run right away.

Note: in the freeform query example, the "select" query itself must be double quoted and the "$" sign in the query is properly escaped by "\". And all other variables containing "$" within sqoop command are escaped by single quoting the variable itself like the value of "--target-dir". All the "-D" arguments before "-X" that are overriding given property must be placed before the "-command" argument.

Info Operations

The Info sub-command provides a convenient place for Oozie to display misc information.

Getting a list of time zones

Example:

$ oozie info -timezones
.
The format is "SHORT_NAME (ID)"
Give the ID to the -timezone argument
GMT offsets can also be used (e.g. GMT-07:00, GMT-0700, GMT+05:30, GMT+0530)
Available Time Zones :
      SST (Pacific/Midway)
      NUT (Pacific/Niue)
      SST (Pacific/Pago_Pago)
      SST (Pacific/Samoa)
      SST (US/Samoa)
      HAST (America/Adak)
      HAST (America/Atka)
      HST (HST)
      ...

The -timezones option will print out a (long) list of all available time zones.

These IDs (the text in the parentheses) are what should be used for the -timezone TIME_ZONE_ID option in the job and jobs sub-commands

Map-reduce Operations

Submitting a map-reduce job

Example:

$ oozie mapreduce -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie -config job.properties

The parameters must be in the Java Properties file (.properties). This file must be specified for a map-reduce job. The properties file must specify the mapred.mapper.class , mapred.reducer.class , mapred.input.dir , mapred.output.dir , =oozie.libpath=, mapred.job.tracker , and fs.default.name properties.

The map-reduce job will be created and submitted. All jar files and all other files needed by the mapreduce job need to be uploaded onto HDFS under libpath beforehand. The workflow.xml will be created in Oozie server internally. Users can get the workflow.xml from console or command line(-definition).
