Description

The Oozie functional specification doesn't mention there would be any kind of ACID shortcomings when speaking of atomicity of side effects of Oozie actions.

In particular, if there is a Hive action when there are tables truncated, recreated, filled, and the YARN application running this action gets killed and relaunched / reexecuted, there are no guarantees about the atomicity of the side effects of that Hive action. Same for Shell, Java, Spark etc. actions.

Task is to extend Oozie functional specification with that.
