Chris Nauroth commented on HDFS-316: ------------------------------------ +1 from me too. It looks like the Jenkins run failed for unrelated reasons, so let's try again. I triggered one more Jenkins run. It's build #9532, currently waiting for an available executor. > Balancer should run for a configurable # of iterations > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HDFS-316 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-316 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: balancer & mover > Affects Versions: 2.4.1 > Reporter: Brian Bockelman > Assignee: Xiaoyu Yao > Priority: Minor > Labels: newbie > Attachments: HDFS-316.0.patch, HDFS-316.1.patch, HDFS-316.2.patch, > HDFS-316.3.patch, HDFS-316.4.patch > > > The balancer currently exits if nothing has changed after 5 iterations. > Our site would like to constantly balance a stream of incoming data; we would > like to be able to set the number of iterations it "does nothing" for before > exiting; even better would be if we set it to a negative number and could > continuously run this as a daemon. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
