Configuring Oozie data purge settings using Cloudera Manager

You can change your Oozie configuration to control when data is purged to improve performance, reduce database disk usage, or keep the history for a longer period of time. Limiting the size of the Oozie database can also improve performance during upgrades.

All Oozie workflows older than 30 days are purged from the database by default. However, actions associated with long-running coordinators do not purge until the coordinators complete. If, for example, you schedule a coordinator to run for a year, all those actions remain in the database for the year.
  1. In the Cloudera Manager Admin Console, go to the Oozie service.
  2. Click the Configuration tab.
  3. Type purge in the Search box.
  4. Set the following properties as required for your environment:
    • Enable Purge for Long-Running Coordinator Jobs

      Select this property to enable purging of long-running coordinator jobs for which the workflow jobs are older than the value you set for the Days to Keep Completed Workflow Jobs property.

    • Days to Keep Completed Workflow Jobs
    • Days to Keep Completed Coordinator Jobs
    • Days to Keep Completed Bundle Jobs
  5. Enter a Reason for change, and then click Save Changes to commit the changes.
  6. Select Actions > Restart to restart the Oozie Service.
