Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HDFS-6808:
--------------------------------------------
bq. I'd argue that from the user-perspective, this isn't true. If I change the
dfs.data.dir layout, won't -reconfig drop previous data directories and load
the new ones? How is this different than what happens with -refreshNodes, other
than being a different type of object?
Well, for one thing, {{refreshNodes}} applies to the NameNode, and this patch
doesn't alter the NameNode. When we add reconfiguration support to the
NameNode, then we can talk about how this interacts with {{refreshNodes}} (if
at all). Until then, it just seems like a distraction.
> 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.
