DataNode should implement should use ToolRunner -----------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-5961 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5961 Project: Hadoop Core Issue Type: Improvement Components: dfs Reporter: Raghu Angadi Assignee: Raghu Angadi DataNode should use ToolRunner to parse generic hadoop options (like -Dconfig.var=value). Apart from being more consistent with rest of the hadoop programs, this is necessary to write a simple script to run multiple datanodes on the same node. I had proposed a simple shell script to running multiple datanodes on a the user mailing list http://www.nabble.com/Contributing-to-hadoop-td22198897.html, but it requires that DataNode parses -D option. I will submit a patch and a shell script that works. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
