Steve Loughran updated HDFS-891:
--------------------------------
Priority: Minor (was: Major)
> DataNode.instantiateDataNode calls system.exit(-1) if
> conf.get("dfs.network.script") != null
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-891
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-891
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: data-node
> Affects Versions: 0.22.0
> Reporter: Steve Loughran
> Priority: Minor
>
> Looking at the code for {{DataNode.instantiateDataNode())} , I see that it
> calls {{system.exit(-1)}} if it is not happy with the configuration
> {code}
> if (conf.get("dfs.network.script") != null) {
> LOG.error("This configuration for rack identification is not supported"
> +
> " anymore. RackID resolution is handled by the NameNode.");
> System.exit(-1);
> }
> {code}
> This is excessive. It should throw an exception and let whoever called the
> method decide how to handle it. The {{DataNode.main()}} method will log the
> exception and exit with a -1 value, but other callers (such as anything using
> {{MiniDFSCluster}} will now see a meaningful message rather than some Junit
> "tests exited without completing" warning.
> Easy to write a test for the correct behaviour: start a {{MiniDFSCluster}}
> with this configuration set, see what happens.
