Hello, Is it possible to connect to an already running JobTracker via socket through the Hadoop Java API? I see that there is a startTracker method but nothing to establish a connection/hook into a currently running JobTracker, that might of been launched prior to an application connecting. I know that I can use JobClient to assist with tracking jobs that I submit through my application but I was interested in monitoring all job statuses that were launched by other applications or users that launch jobs independently through the Hadoop command line.
Thanks in advance. ________________________________ Ronnie Dove OceanSync Hadoop Management Software http://www.OceanSync.com
