Mostafa Elhemali created HDFS-4837: -------------------------------------- Summary: Allow DFSAdmin to run when HDFS is not the default file system Key: HDFS-4837 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4837 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: New Feature Reporter: Mostafa Elhemali Assignee: Mostafa Elhemali
When Hadoop is running a different default file system than HDFS, but still have HDFS namenode running, we are unable to run dfsadmin commands. I suggest that DFSAdmin use the same mechanism as NameNode does today to get its address: look at dfs.namenode.rpc-address, and if not set fallback on getting it from the default file system. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
