Need configuration guides for Hadoop
------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-1917
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1917
Project: Hadoop
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: conf
Affects Versions: 0.14.1
Reporter: Sameer Paranjpye
Priority: Critical
Fix For: 0.15.0
We've recently had a spate of questions on the users list regarding features
such as rack-awareness, the trash can etc. which are not clearly documented
from a user/admins perspective. There is some Javadoc present but most of the
"documentation" exists either in JIRA or in the default config files themselves.
We should generate top down configuration and use guides for map/reduce and
HDFS. These should probably be in forest and accessible from the project
website (Javadoc isn't always approachable to our non-programmer audience).
Committers should look for user documentation before accepting patches.
