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

> 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.
