Oozie (see http://oozie.apache.org/) is an open source workflow coordination and schedule service to manage data processing jobs. Oozie workflow jobs are defined in a series of nodes in a Directed Acyclical Graph (DAG).

  • Control flow node: This either defines the start, end, and failed node in a workflow or controls the workflow execution path such as decision, fork, and join nodes.

  • Action node: This defines the core data processing action job such as MapReduce, Hadoop filesystem, Hive, Pig, Java, Shell, e-mail, and Oozie subworkflows. Additional types of actions are also supported by developing extensions.

Oozie is a scalable, reliable, and extensible system. It can be parameterized for workflow submission and scheduled to run automatically. Therefore, Oozie is very suitable for lightweight...
