Would it be possible to have a line beginning with #- explaining it briefly the format expected . Are the lines that begin with # in slaves file ignored ?
The file $HADOOP_HOME/conf/slaves has the list of machines that could
act as slaves. When we open the file it is not immediately obvious if it
would be a comma separated list of machines to act as slaves or in
separate lines ( the docs
http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r0.19.2/cluster_setup.html#Slaves ,
refer to the machines as in separate lines ).
