The file $HADOOP_HOME/conf/slaves has the list of machines that could

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 ).
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 ?

Thanks Ravi for confirming it.
I have created a patch -
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6376, that adds a 1-line
description about the format of conf/slaves to be self-explanatory though.
