Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-5961: -------------------------------------- Thanks Jakob. The current script is extremely basic, but gets the job done. It is more like command line alias. Still I spend more time the script than the actual code change in DataNode. It would take some time to write a good script and for associated help and support. We could consider later that if there is more interest. > 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).
