**APIs profiled:** 4

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.
