Sean Busbey commented on HADOOP-11081: -------------------------------------- {noformat} +# and clients (i.e., hdfs dfs -blah). These get appended to HADOOP_OPTS for +# such commands. In most cases, # this should be left empty and +# let users supply it on the command line. {noformat} nit: extra '#' mid-line. {noformat} +# +# NOTE: this is not used by default! <----- +# You can define variables right here and then re-use them later on. +# For example, it is common to use the same garbage collection settings +# for all the daemons. So one could define: +# +# export HADOOP_GC_SETTINGS="-verbose:gc -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps" +# +# .. and then use it as per the b option under the namenode. + {noformat} What does "this" refer to here? HADOOP_GC_SETTINGS? or just the practice of defining variables and reusing them? {noformat} HADOOP_HDFS_IDENT_STRING="${HADOOP_IDENT_STRING}" + # turn on the defaults {noformat} nit: extra blank line > Document hadoop properties expected to be set by the shell code in *-env.sh > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-11081 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11081 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: documentation, scripts > Reporter: Allen Wittenauer > Assignee: Allen Wittenauer > Labels: newbie > Attachments: HADOOP-11081-01.patch, HADOOP-11081-02.patch, > HADOOP-11081.patch > > > There are quite a few Java properties that are expected to be set by the > shell code.
