Andrew Wang updated HDFS-7542: ------------------------------ Resolution: Later Status: Resolved (was: Patch Available) Some internal discussion, we don't think this is necessary anymore. Can revisit it later. > Add an option to DFSAdmin -safemode wait to ignore connection failures > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-7542 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-7542 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: tools > Affects Versions: 2.6.0 > Reporter: Stephen Chu > Assignee: Stephen Chu > Priority: Minor > Labels: BB2015-05-TBR > Attachments: HDFS-7542.001.patch, HDFS-7542.002.patch > > > Currently, the _dfsadmin -safemode wait_ command aborts when connection to > the NN fails (network glitch, ConnectException when NN is unreachable, > EOFException if network link shut down). > In certain situations, users have asked for an option to make the command > resilient to connection failures. This is useful so that the admin can > initiate the wait command despite the NN not being fully up or survive > intermittent network issues. With this option, the admin can rely on the wait > command continuing to poll instead of aborting. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
