for role in $(echo "$ROLES" | tr "," "\n"); do case $role in hadoop-namenode) start_namenode ;; hadoop-secondarynamenode) start_hadoop_daemon secondarynamenode ;; hadoop-jobtracker) start_hadoop_daemon jobtracker ;; hadoop-datanode) start_hadoop_daemon datanode ;; hadoop-tasktracker) start_hadoop_daemon tasktracker ;; esac done } On Wed, Jul 13, 2011 at 2:32 PM, Andrei Savu <savu.and...@gmail.com> wrote: > I just took a look at the source code.
