[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-688?page=comments#action_12448625 ] dhruba borthakur commented on HADOOP-688: -----------------------------------------
The dfsadmin command is mostly a cosmetic change until we have the 'security model' worked out in detail. For now, -safemode, -report and -decommission will be associated with dfsadmin. In future, we have to deal with appropriately placing 'format', 'fsck', etc with either dfs or dfsadmin command. > move dfs administrative interfaces to a separate command > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-688 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-688 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: dfs > Reporter: dhruba borthakur > Assigned To: dhruba borthakur > Attachments: admincommand.patch > > > The dfs adminsitrative commands (e.g. safemode, report, etc) should be > separate from the dfs user commands. The proposal is to remove the following > two commands: > bin/hadoop dfs -report > bin/hadoop dfs -safemode > The above two features will be available through a new command: > bin/hadoop dfsadmin -report > bin/hadoop dfsadmin -safemode > This is done so that there is a clean distinction between cluster > administrative commands and users command. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
