Jakob Homan commented on HADOOP-5961: ------------------------------------- +1 on the patch. Works as advertised. Is there any reason not to include the script and integrate it with the other shell scripts? The script works fine, but would need some validation (can only open 10 datanodes as it stands), header file, etc. This would make it easy for other developers to use without having to track down this JIRA months or years from now. > DataNode should understand generic hadoop options > ------------------------------------------------- > > 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 > Attachments: HADOOP-5961.patch, run-datanode.sh > > > DataNode should use ToolRunner to parse generic hadoop options (like > -Dconfig.var=value).
