Jeff Hubbs resolved HDFS-13397.
-------------------------------
Resolution: Invalid
Release Note: This fix apparently does not work in all cases, will withdraw
and re-post after further investigation
> start-dfs.sh and hdfs --daemon start datanode say "ERROR: Cannot set priority
> of datanode process XXXX"

>
> Key: HDFS-13397
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-13397
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: hdfs
> Affects Versions: 3.0.1
> Reporter: Jeff Hubbs
> Priority: Major
>
> When executing
> {code:java}
> $HADOOP_HOME/bin/hdfs --daemon start datanode
> {code}
> as a regular user (e.g. "hdfs") you achieve fail saying
> {code:java}
> ERROR: Cannot set priority of datanode process XXXX
> {code}
> where XXXX is some PID.
> It turned out that this is because at least on Gentoo Linux (and I think this
> is pretty well universal), by default a regular user process can't increase
> the priority of itself or any of the user's other processes. To fix this, I
> added these lines to /etc/security/limits.conf [NOTE: the users hdfs, yarn,
> and mapred are in the group called hadoop on this system]:
> {code:java}
> @hadoop hard nice -15
> @hadoop hard priority -15
> {code}
> This change will need to be made on all datanodes.
> The need to enable [at minimum] the hdfs user to raise its processes'
> priority needs to be added to the documentation. This is not a problem I
> observed under 3.0.0.
