Chris Nauroth commented on HDFS-4145:
-------------------------------------
Ivan, I think there is an issue with handling of the --config option to
override the configuration directory. hdfs.cmd has code to parse --config and
then shift away the arguments. Later, it calls hadoop-config.cmd. Inside
hadoop-config.cmd, it resets HADOOP_CONF_DIR to a default of
%HADOOP_HOME%\etc\hadoop. hadoop-config.cmd then repeats the check for
--config, but by now hdfs.cmd has already shifted the arguments out, so the
config directory override isn't found.
I temporarily hacked around this on my machine by commenting out the line in
hadoop-config.cmd that sets it to %HADOOP_HOME%\etc\hadoop. After that, it
worked for me. I successfully formatted and started a namenode.
