---------------------------------------
I am +1 on the config option proposed by Todd. I think it will help some newbie
administrators in administering their cluster.
On a related note, I would like to make the logic that makes the NN exist
safemode be pluggable. This is helpful when files are raided using HDFS RAID. I
opened HDFS-1501.
> 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.
