Add a parameter to `hdfs dfsadmin -saveNamespace' to allow an arbitrary storage dir -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-2746 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2746 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: New Feature Components: name-node Affects Versions: 0.24.0 Reporter: Aaron T. Myers Presently `hdfs dfsadmin -saveNamespace' will attempt to save a snapshot of the file system metadata state into all configured storage dirs. It would be nice if we could optionally specify an arbitrary local dir to save the FS state into, instead of the configured storage dirs. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
