dhruba borthakur commented on HADOOP-4522: ------------------------------------------ The one other case of re-reading the config file is for JT or NN failover. Suppose, the machine on which my JT was running dies, and I want to make the running TaskTrackers start communicating with the new JT on a different machine. This requires the TTs to re-read the config file. > Capacity Scheduler needs to re-read its configuration > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-4522 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4522 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Vivek Ratan > > An external application (an Ops script, or some CLI-based tool) can change > the configuration of the Capacity Scheduler (change the capacities of various > queues, for example) by updating its config file. This application then needs > to tell the Capacity Scheduler that its config has changed, which causes the > Scheduler to re-read its configuration. It's possible that the Capacity > Scheduler may need to interact with external applications in other similar > ways. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
