Good pipeline integrator **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Abhilash c. | Big Data Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 27, 2023 **What do you like best about Apache Oozie?** Apache oozie is very easy to use and we can integrate different language features in the pipelines through oozie which are easy to understand and the flow is maintained properly. We can schedule pipelines with oozie coordinators. **What do you dislike about Apache Oozie?** Sometimes the scheduling part becomes little tricky and we run into issue with the pipelines. Also the scheduling of shell scripts alone is not possible with oozie. **What problems is Apache Oozie solving and how is that benefiting you?** Oozie is helping organization to create and maintain the workloads for their pipelines which uses different steps from cross platforms in order to achieve the task flow. ### 2. Scheduling jobs in Hadoop made easy with Oozie **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Raunak S. | Consultant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 18, 2021 **What do you like best about Apache Oozie?** Very convenient and user friendly UI for scheduling the jobs and workflow in Hadoop. **What do you dislike about Apache Oozie?** It's UI seems to be old XML built type and can be improved. **Recommendations to others considering Apache Oozie:** Go for it. It's easy and simple **What problems is Apache Oozie solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am scheduling Hadoop jobs using it ### 3. A better job scheduler for business processes **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lakshmi Narayana J. | Senior Hadoop Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 12, 2021 **What do you like best about Apache Oozie?** The workflow, coordinator schedules are really intuitive **What do you dislike about Apache Oozie?** Nothing to unlike, but features and really intuitive to configure **Recommendations to others considering Apache Oozie:** It is recommended to use the oozie to schedule the jobs when they are multiple job types are involved **What problems is Apache Oozie solving and how is that benefiting you?** We schedule different types of jobs like mr jobs, HCL scripts, shell scripts to load and migrate the data ### 4. DataFlow using Oozie Workflow **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Krishna R. | BigData Hadoop Administrator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 03, 2020 **What do you like best about Apache Oozie?** I like the way to writing actions to oozie with different set of programming languages like java, shell and hql and at last integration to email action when it get failed due to some reason. Best part is conditional driven data flow management is possible. Also, the good one is, coordinator jobs, we don't need to worry about data flow failure, we designed in such a way that it will reprocess the data in run of coordinator job. **What do you dislike about Apache Oozie?** As an admin perspective, enabling SSL to Oozie service is not as comfortable as other apache services. Second, It would be great, when oozie comes up with HA capabilities. In the developer perspective, oozie UI is there, but it is not as comfortable as other ETL tools to design workflows. **Recommendations to others considering Apache Oozie:** 1. Easy of workflow management 2. A good tool for conditional based data flow 3. Job coordination is best part. Same jobs will be triggered based on the co-ordinator time **What problems is Apache Oozie solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using Oozie to transfer loads from Apache HBase to Apache Hive using oozie workflow actions. We also have alternative way to it using Spark RDD but we are comfortable with Oozie because of its reliable and coordinating jobs within it. Currently we are using Oozie which comes with Hortonworks Data Platform, it is easy to manage configurations via Ambari. But when it comes to user authentication login, still I dont get login screen where we can integrate LDAP/AD. It would be great when this feature is enabled to oozie. ### 5. Best scheduler for advanced technology like bigdata **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kavya N. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 14, 2020 **What do you like best about Apache Oozie?** Most helpful is the email notifications, as whatever advanced level we go, we need to be notified as soon as the job/task failed. Upsides are we can handle most of the jobs like hive,shell,java and etc. using oozie scheduler **What do you dislike about Apache Oozie?** Returning the results/outputs of hive action is not in picture and implementing high availability is complex **Recommendations to others considering Apache Oozie:** Good to go with oozie for live projects as monitoring, logging and error handling are quite easy **What problems is Apache Oozie solving and how is that benefiting you?** Oozie plays a major role on processing the live records from hbase to hive in hadoop cluster, reducing the manual work and optimizing the memory usage via global configs and easy go for new steppers ### 6.
