Eli Collins commented on HDFS-528:
----------------------------------
The config option (dfs.namenode.replqueue.threshold-pct config) introduced in
HDFS-1476 should address Dhruba's use case, though doesn't tell you whether the
FS is writable.
> Add ability for safemode to wait for a minimum number of live datanodes

> 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.
