Allen Wittenauer commented on HDFS-316: --------------------------------------- Please don't use camel case options. I know the rest of the system does, but they are extremely user unfriendly and something we should start actively avoiding. > Balancer should run for a configurable # of iterations > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HDFS-316 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-316 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: balancer > Affects Versions: 2.4.1 > Reporter: Brian Bockelman > Assignee: Xiaoyu Yao > Priority: Minor > Labels: newbie > Attachments: HDFS-316.0.patch > > > The balancer currently exits if nothing has changed after 5 iterations. > Our site would like to constantly balance a stream of incoming data; we would > like to be able to set the number of iterations it "does nothing" for before > exiting; even better would be if we set it to a negative number and could > continuously run this as a daemon. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
