Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-4696: -------------------------------------- This is mainly for emergencies. Simpler thing might be for NN to provide webui for these commands so that it bypasses RPC traffic. > Better handling of dfsadmin command when namenode is slow > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-4696 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4696 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: dfs > Affects Versions: 0.18.2 > Reporter: Koji Noguchi > > Probably when hitting HADOOP-3810, Namenode became unresponsive.
