First, let’s make the topic clear:
Comparing with providing raw Oozie workflow/coordinator xml file, what’s disadvantages to create workflow/coordinator with Hue Oozie Editor? ( The Hue Oozie Editor version discussed by this artical is HDP 2.2.4)
If no deep understanding with Hue Oozie Editor, everybody will like it at the first glance, why not? It’s so easy to use, what you see is what you get, who want to write the ugly xml file manually?
But the truth is: the Hue Oozie Editor is not so good as it looks, it’s far away to stable and powerful tool to create/manage workflows.
Here are the problems:
On the contrary, what if using Hue Oozie Editor? Congratulations! Please do the duplicated job again on production cluster: re-create the workflows/coordinators on the production cluster manually. Well, there’s an import/export feature in Hue Oozie Editor, but it’s only for workflow not for coordinator, and even for workflows, you still have to change all environment related parameters manually.
Well, at least, could we import our raw workflow file into Hue Oozie Editor?
Let’s look at how weak the current Hue Oozie Editor:
Nobody hate UI design tools, but it has to be good enough. by now, I would say, building workflows above Hue Oozie Editor is unwise.
Obviously, we should choose raw xml file not Hue Oozie Editor.
But there is only one small trouble, the Hue can only start a workflow/coordinator edited by Hue Oozie Editor.Note: once a workflow/coordinator started, you can monitor & stop it from Hue even it’s described by raw xml.
First, I don’t think this is a trouble, we can start a workflow/coordinator with command line. Please do remember: normally, a workflow/coordinator is long-term running & background service, we scarcely start/stop it. So, the command line is enough for the operation and maintenance.
Besides command line, you can also start a workflow/coordinator via Oozie Restful API from remote.
