Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-4724: ---------------------------------------- +1 for this. It's useful for development and easy to test (start these nodes with nothing to bond to), * What property names to use? * What are reasonable defaults for production systems? For minidfs we can run with a configuration that times out much faster; the default timeout should be adequate for people setting up basic clusters on real/virtual machines without any assumptions about NTP working :) > TaskTracker, DataNode, and SecondaryNameNode should timeout on waiting for > its server to be up > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-4724 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4724 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Hairong Kuang > Fix For: 0.20.0 > > > TaskTracker, DataNode, and SecondaryNameNode currently wait forever if its > server is not up. They should be designed to take a configuration parameter > that tells them when to give up, and a default value of many minutes/hours or > more to deal with basic choreography issues in a cluster. Test clusters can > be set up to fail sooner rather than later. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
