I think this is a great idea :)
We'd like to be able to collect arbitrary metadata from our jobs to be able to query by them, the type of job being one but possibly even more. For example set some arbitrary other identifier in a job configuration and then being able to query on that in the web ui. Obviously we'd have to tell the mapper / reducer processes what those keys were but it seems reasonable and if done right very flexible.
Yea this sounds like it would be very useful indeed.

It would be nice to be able to see what type of job is being listed. This would allow one to break cluster usage down by framework. One can identify Hive jobs via the hive.query param in the job conf. Pig has a similar property.
