Kate Rhodes commented on HADOOP-1954: ------------------------------------- you're right it should be singular instead of plural to just start it on this node. Why we need it? for the same reason we need any of the simple start stop scripts. To save typing. Plus it makes life easier for newbs like me. There's scripts for starting all the other things but when you're starting out it seems likely than one of the things you're going to be doing is setting up task trackers on nodes. Having a script right there in the bin dir that does it for you helps get you up and running faster and gives new users one less hurdle to get over. It wasn't at all obvious to me how to start just a task tracker. These aren't "needed" but they're nice to have, don't really get in the way of anything, and can make life easier for new users before they get frustrated and go away. > start task tracker and stop task tracker scripts > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-1954 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1954 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: scripts > Reporter: Kate Rhodes > Priority: Trivial > Attachments: start_stop_tt_scripts.patch > > > we should have scripts for starting and stopping just the task tracker -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
