Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-4324: -------------------------------------- I'm generally not a fan of using the Configuration for output. A Configuration is a generic input mechanism for metadata, not a read/write blackboard for state. > Need a way to get the inforserver port of a name node > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-4324 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4324 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: dfs > Affects Versions: 0.20.0 > Reporter: Steve Loughran > Assignee: Steve Loughran > Priority: Minor > > To test that services shut down cleanly, I need to know the port that the > namenode brings up an info server on, which means that its assigned port > value needs to be exported from the namesystem. > I can see two ways to do this, and wish some recommendations of the best > approach > 1. extract the port value when the FSNameSystem comes up, and add it to that > classes Conf; add a method to get that Conf so that its state can be read. > 2. save the port value to a member variable in FSNameSystem and provide a > public method to get at it. > My preference is for #1, as it is consistent with how the NameNode saves its > port value, and doesn't change any APIs. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
