Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-6307: -------------------------------------- I marked this as "Done" instead of "Fixed" because no code was checked in. And I left "Fix Version" empty because the wiki isn't tied to any release. (But it could be marked as a fix for 0.13.0 to include it in the release notes.) > "completed" field description should be clarified. > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-6307 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6307 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Documentation, WebHCat > Affects Versions: 0.12.0 > Reporter: Eugene Koifman > Assignee: Lefty Leverenz > > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
