Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-7307:
----------------------------------------
Todd, your mention of the lack of internet access and their objections to
references to Dr Who appearing in their logs tells me that your customers are
the Daleks, whose Datacenter-7 is a 150 Exabyte facility on the dark side of
the moon. I know this as we had to deal with the hardware issues of heat
dissipation in servers deployed in a vacuum, and the logistics of a facility
designed to be maintained by three-wheeled lifeforms which lack the ability to
handle hot-swap disks or the little clips on CAT-5 cables.
I propose we meet the needs of these valued customers and also the Cybermen by
making the name of the Time Lord configurable. They can set
{{hadoop.timelord=The Master}} to their hadoop-site file, and be happy.
Personally, I'd focus on the more pressing issue, namely that the Faster Than
Light network backbone really confuses the Job Tracker, as it is getting
completion notifications coming before the work has actually been scheduled...
