Eugene Koifman updated HIVE-6307: --------------------------------- Description: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/WebHCat+Reference+Job explains the fields in the JSON document which contains status information for a particular job. "completed" field is set once the process that the Launcher task launched returns. For example, if user submitted a M/R job via webhcat, "completed" will be set to "done" once the "hadoop jar" command that the Launcher invokes exits. If one is looking for status of the job itself, the fields inside "status" element should be consulted (e.g. "jobComplete" or "runState"). Current doc is not clear and may mislead WebHCat user into thinking "completed" is a property of the job itself. was: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/WebHCat+Reference+Job explains the fields in the JSON document which contains status information for a particular job.
