dhruba borthakur commented on HDFS-1848: ---------------------------------------- > Point #1 is limited to allowing an admin to specify that not all of these > configured directories should necessarily be treated Fully agree. makes complete sense to me. > Point #2 is if the datanode experiences some types of failures (eg those > caused by a failed root disk) it should fail-stop. I am on the fence on this one. It seems like a good idea for a cluster administrator to have this feature. > Datanodes should shutdown when a critical volume fails > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HDFS-1848 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1848 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: data-node > Reporter: Eli Collins > Fix For: 0.23.0 > > > A DN should shutdown when a critical volume (eg the volume that hosts the OS, > logs, pid, tmp dir etc.) fails. The admin should be able to specify which > volumes are critical, eg they might specify the volume that lives on the boot > disk. A failure in one of these volumes would not be subject to the threshold > (HDFS-1161) or result in host decommissioning (HDFS-1847) as the > decommissioning process would likely fail. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
