Oozie map-reduce job stuck in PREP state forever

Question

I am trying to run the wordcount map-reduce example, refering https://support.pivotal.io/hc/en-us/articles/203355837-How-to-run-a-Map-Reduce-jar-using-Oozie-workflow.

I am using hadoop 2.2.0 in cluster setup

The problem is my oozie map-reduce job keeps on running. It does not give any error but its not completing successfully. There is no error message.Also there is no output directory created(which was suppose to happen).

Below is workflow.xml

    <workflow-app xmlns="uri:oozie:workflow:0.1" name="map-reduce-wf">
 <start to="mr-node"/>
 <action name="mr-node">
     <map-reduce>

</workflow-app>

Job.properties

nameNode=hdfs://hadoopmaster:54310
jobTracker=localhost:54311

oozie.wf.application.path=${nameNode}/user/hadoop/${examplesRoot}/map-reduce

The output of the job status is

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

In job.properties initialDataset should be 8 hours before jobStart (PST is GMT-8). You've set 2014-10-26 19:52 GMT for both.
