Rerun Oozie infinitely when fail

I have a Workflow Oozie 4.3 with one Action that contains a Shell :

<action name="KafkaToADLS" retry-max="10" retry-interval="1">

This will rerun the workflow 1 minute after a fail, and will do this 10 times.

Is there something to do to make the workflow rerun infinitely, after each fail ?

Solution

  • No, you cannot specify an infinite number of retries. On the other hand it's an integer number, so you can specify a big enough number which will work effectively as infinite.

    To be honest, I don't think it's a good idea to specify too huge retry-max values.
