Apache Oozie

aid: apache-oozie
name: Apache Oozie
description: Apache Oozie is a workflow scheduler system for managing Apache Hadoop jobs. It enables users to define workflows
  as directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) of actions including MapReduce, Pig, Hive, Sqoop, and custom Java/shell steps. Coordinator
  jobs trigger workflows based on time schedules or data availability, while bundle jobs group multiple coordinators. Oozie
  provides a REST API for job submission, lifecycle management, monitoring, and system administration. Governed by the Apache
  Software Foundation under the Apache License 2.0, written in Java.

  name: Apache Oozie REST API
  description: The Oozie Web Services API provides REST endpoints for submitting, managing, and monitoring workflow, coordinator,
    and bundle jobs on Apache Hadoop. Supports full job lifecycle management (submit, start, suspend, resume, kill, rerun),
    log and status retrieval, DAG visualization, SLA management, and system administration. Available at /oozie/v1 and /oozie/v2
    with JSON responses.
