After the Address of MapReduce JobHistoryServer Is Changed, Why the Wrong Page is Displayed When I Click the Tracking URL on the ResourceManager WebUI?

Question

After the address of MapReduce JobHistoryServer is changed, why the wrong page is displayed when I click the tracking URL on the ResourceManager WebUI?

Answer

JobHistoryServer address (mapreduce.jobhistory.address / mapreduce.jobhistory.webapp.<https.>address) is the parameter of MapReduce. The MapReduce client will submit the address together with jobs to ResourceManager. After ResourceManager completing the jobs, the parameter is saved in RMStateStore as the target address for viewing history job information.

If the JobHistoryServer address is changed, update the address in the configuration file of the MapReduce client in time. If the address is not updated, the page of earlier JobHistoryServer is displayed when you click the tracking URL of the new job. The target address of information about MapReduce jobs running before the change of address cannot be changed, so the wrong page is also displayed when you click the tracking URL. You can check the history information by accessing the new JobHistoryServer address.
