Michele (aka pirroh) Catasta updated HADOOP-2366: ------------------------------------------------- Attachment: HADOOP-2366.patch Patch modified to make getStrings() behave as before with whitespace-only strings. Todd: thanks a lot for the feedback, I'm running an 'ant test' in a local server to see if tests are failing again. Feel free to move back the issue to "In Progress" status - I'll let you know as soon as the build ends. Sorry for the naiveness, I didn't know that Hudson was triggered by the "Patch Available" status... skipped an important section in the wiki page, shame on me! > Space in the value for dfs.data.dir can cause great problems > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-2366 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2366 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Bug > Components: conf > Reporter: Ted Dunning > Assignee: Todd Lipcon > Attachments: HADOOP-2366.patch > > > The following configuration causes problems: > <property> > <name>dfs.data.dir</name> > <value>/mnt/hstore2/hdfs, /home/foo/dfs</value> > <description> > Determines where on the local filesystem an DFS data node should store its > bl > ocks. If this is a comma-delimited list of directories, then data will be > stor > ed in all named directories, typically on different devices. Directories > that > do not exist are ignored. > </description> > </property> > The problem is that the space after the comma causes the second directory for > storage to be " /home/foo/dfs" which is in a directory named <SPACE> which > contains a sub-dir named "home" in the hadoop datanodes default directory. > This will typically cause the user's home partition to fill, but will be very > hard for the user to understand since a directory with a whitespace name is > hard to understand. > My proposed solution would be to trimLeft all path names from this and > similar property after splitting on comma. This still allows spaces in file > and directory names but avoids this problem. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
