Harsh J commented on HDFS-2831:
-------------------------------
Key "dfs.namenode.edits.dir" is the config for edits location and it uses
"dfs.namenode.name.dir" as its default value. I think the docs holds good as it
is, and we shouldn't add in about edits to make it ambiguous.
An improvement we can do, however, is to make the right key for edits more
visible. But I have not seen a great need to change this location among several
users. I think this is fine as is. But please put forth your POV too, as what
lead to requiring moving the edits dir? :)
If you agree, we can resolve this one out :)
