Job Groups

[JohnOmernik]

I am getting to know Chronos and there are some awesome features for Mesos clusters in it. One thing I was curious on the communities thoughts with was the concept of job groups. Individual jobs at our org are broken up into several tasks that have the parent/child relationship. While in Chronos it appears that everything is a "job" even what we'd consider a task. Yes, you can link 5 jobs together, and you could do this with tasks, but from a management standpoint, there is a concept of the success/failure of individual tasks (maybe a ETL job that checks for files, retrieves files, loads to HDFS, parses into managed tables in hive, archives source data) The job may be "load_trans_data" and the tasks are all those individual parts.

I could just preface each part with load_trans_data_retrieve, then load_trans_data_run_hive etc but there is no grouping of that in the UI which makes it interesting.

I'd really be interested in the thoughts of community

I think it's a good idea and a must-have feature. Is there any progress with this ticket?
