Beta 0.3 Released – Get Your Counters Here!

November 2nd, 2009 by martinh

Thanks to lots of use and feedback over the past few weeks, we have made further improvements to the Studio tool. In addition to various bug fixes and performance improvements, there are two new pieces of functionality to draw attention to:

  • Job and Task Counters
  • File System Status

As usual, we’re interested in feedback either on the mailing list or in private email. For new users, this is available as the current installable version. For existing users, you should get it automatically, depending on your update check interval.

Hadoop Job and Task Counters

We’ve had a lot of requests for the display and visualization of task and job counters. So new to this release is the ability to view and graphically chart counters in Hadoop jobs. You can also save and re-use custom chart templates, which enables you to build your own general, job and/or task-specific counter dashboards.

File System Status

We’ve also added graphical viewing of cluster file systems so you can see their status at a glance.
