                 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.
