Migrating an Oozie database to the Amazon RDS MySQL
Apache Oozie, a widely used workflow scheduler in the Hadoop ecosystem, orchestrates a variety of Hadoop jobs, including Hive, Pig, Sqoop, Spark, DistCp, Linux shell actions, and more. It stands out in the Hadoop community for its scalability and reliability.
