Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-2551: ------------------------------------------ In particular, I was thinking that it might be useful to have: HADOOP_GLOBAL_OPTS = applies to all processes HADOOP_NAMENODE_OPTS = applies to just the namenode HADOOP_TASK_OPTS = applies to just tasks HADOOP_JT_OPTS = applies to the job tracker HADOOP_TT_OPTS = applies to task trackers HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS = applies to clients, such as hadoop fsck, hadoop dfs, etc. Additionally, it might be useful to split out the HADOOP_HEAPSIZE setting as well. > hadoop-env.sh needs finer granularity > ------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-2551 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2551 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Allen Wittenauer > Priority: Minor > > We often configure our HADOOP_OPTS on the name node to have JMX running so > that we can do JVM monitoring. But doing so means that we need to edit this > file if we want to run other hadoop commands, such as fsck. It would be > useful if hadoop-env.sh was refactored a bit so that there were different > and/or cascading HADOOP_OPTS dependent upon which process/task was being > performed. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
