Konstantin Boudnik commented on MAPREDUCE-1614: ----------------------------------------------- It turns out the the problem is pretty typical for the programs in the hadoop-test.jar. E.g. NNBench does't allow to configure a location of the results log thus dictating the working directory from where this test can be ran. > TestDFSIO should allow to configure output directory > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-1614 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1614 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: benchmarks > Affects Versions: 0.20.2 > Reporter: Konstantin Boudnik > > TestDFSIO has a hardcoded location for its files to be written and read to or > from. This location is /benchmarks. However, it might pose a problem if HDFS > '/' doesn't allow anyone to write into it. It'd be convenient to have a > command line option to specify an alternative location on demand. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
