Oozie job: What value should I use for jobTracker for Resource Manager HA?

[#1]

I was always wondering what value I should use for "jobtTacker" in my job.properites for Resource Manager HA.

Now a customer asked same question, so I thought this might be a good opportunity to find out.

Does anyone know which string we should use to utilize YARN Resource Manager HA?

According to Google, Cloudera uses "logicaljt" but I don't see this string in HDP code so far.

Useful information. Link

When there are multiple RMs, the configuration (yarn-site.xml) used by clients and nodes is expected to list all the RMs. Clients, ApplicationMasters (AMs) and NodeManagers (NMs) try connecting to the RMs in a round-robin fashion until they hit the Active RM. If the Active goes down, they resume the round-robin polling until they hit the “new” Active. This default retry logic is implemented as org.apache.hadoop.yarn.client.ConfiguredRMFailoverProxyProvider. You can override the logic by implementing org.apache.hadoop.yarn.client.RMFailoverProxyProvider and setting the value of yarn.client.failover-proxy-provider to the class name.

But how about "jobTracker" in job.properties? I need to type "jobTrackers=hostname:8032"

@Hajime What version of HDP are you using?

[#5]

i'm using 2.3.2 (but customer is 2.2.4.2)

@jeff@hortonworks.com This is something we need to look into.

I believe you can specify one of the nodes, if it's not the active RM, API will detect the proper RM and redirect.

Based on this discussion with Hajime "this is what we have in our repo. Credit to Hajime for finding that link"

@Hajime usually you pick one of the nodes for RM as far as Oozie is concerned. If you issue to a standby node, it will round-robin to the active RM.

This is the hortonworks docs that gives reference to it.
