How to build Oozie

Note

Apache does not make Oozie builds, so it has to be built manually.

Prerequisites

• Maven
• JDK 1.6 (1.7 is not allowed there)
• Downloaded Oozie distribution from Apache mirror
• Downloaded ext-2.2.zip (it is needed for enable Oozie web console)
• All Hadoop jar files (either on hadoop cluster or simply from any repository)

Note

Name of extJS archive should be only ext-2.2.zip, there is a check in oozie-setup.sh

To build oozie.tar.gz you should follow the steps below:

• Make package:

$ bin/mkdistro.sh -DskipTests

• Unpack file distro/target/oozie-x.x.x-distro.tar.gz
• Create libext directory in <oozie-path>
• Copy hadoop jars (including hadoop-core, hadoop-client, hadoop-auth) and ext-2.2.zip to libext directory
• Prepare war for Oozie web console:

$ bin/oozie-setup.sh prepare-war

Then your Oozie package is ready, pack it to tar.gz:

$ tar -czf oozie.tar.gz <oozie-dir>
