The Oozie command line

In the last section of this chapter, we will see how to view the status of our job via the command line. We have already seen one way of checking job status via the Oozie web console.

Start a SSH session to the virtual machine and use the following command:

$ oozie job -info 0000007-150727083427440-oozie-oozi-W --oozie http://sandbox.hortonworks.com:11000/oozie

The general syntax is as follows:

$ oozie job -info <job_id> --oozie <oozie_server_url>

The following screenshot shows the output of the preceding command:

Oozie job info
