Apache Oozie

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.

Apache Oozie publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Admin API, Job API, Jobs API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Workflows, Hadoop, Orchestration, Scheduling, and Big Data.

The Apache Oozie catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Apache Oozie’s developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, release notes, support, Stack Overflow tag, and 12 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/apache-oozie: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
