Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-528:
----------------------------------
Dhruba: would you prefer a percentage or an integer number to wait for? Or
perhaps either, depending on the string format?
I'm also worried a little bit about orthogonality between this and the "% of
blocks to wait for reports from" feature. I assume we need an "AND" predicate
of the two - but is there ever a case where we need an "OR"?
> Add dfsadmin -waitDatanodes feature to block until DNs have reported

> When starting up a fresh cluster programatically, users often want to wait
> until DFS is "writable" before continuing in a script. "dfsadmin -safemode
> wait" doesn't quite work for this on a completely fresh cluster, since when
> there are 0 blocks on the system, 100% of them are accounted for before any
> DNs have reported.
> This JIRA is to add a command which waits until a certain number of DNs have
> reported as alive to the NN.
