Allen Wittenauer commented on HDFS-6808:
----------------------------------------

{code}
     "\t[-refresh <host:ipc_port> <key> [arg1..argn]\n" +
+    "\t[-reconfig -datanode [start|status] <host:ipc_port>\n" +
{code}

This seems really awkward/confusing vs the other refresh options.

$ hdfs dfsadmin -reconfig -datanode start blah:00000
$ hdfs dfsadmin -reconfig -datanode status blah:00000

Why is it -datanode instead of just datanode?  The "-" implies it is optional.  
Are there going to be other daemons that will use the -reconfig syntax?  Should 
one or more of the various -refresh options be aliased underneath -reconfig?


> Add command line option to ask DataNode reload configuration.

> The workflow of dynamically changing data volumes on DataNode is
> # Users manually changed {{dfs.datanode.data.dir}} in the configuration file
> # User use command line to notify DN to reload configuration and updates its 
> volumes. 
> This work adds command line support to notify DN to reload configuration.
