Danilo Vunjak commented on HDFS-6597: ------------------------------------- Hi guys, You have point when saying -force is not right name. I would pick -upgradeOnly as maybe best option. What is your opinion? [~jingzhao] Yes, NN is included in all services. Datanodes need it up to upgrade itself. Thanks, Danilo > Add a new option to NN upgrade to terminate the process after upgrade on NN > is completed > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-6597 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6597 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: namenode > Reporter: Danilo Vunjak > Attachments: JIRA-HDFS-30.patch > > > Currently when namenode is started for upgrade (hadoop namenode -upgrade > command), after finishing upgrade of metadata, namenode starts working > normally and wait for datanodes to upgrade itself and connect to to NN. We > need to have option for upgrading only NN metadata, so after upgrade is > finished on NN, process should terminate. > I have tested it by changing in file: hdfs.server.namenode.NameNode.java, > method: public static NameNode createNameNode(String argv[], Configuration > conf): > in switch added > case UPGRADE: > case UPGRADE: > { > DefaultMetricsSystem.initialize("NameNode"); > NameNode nameNode = new NameNode(conf); > if (startOpt.getForceUpgrade()) { > terminate(0); > return null; > } > > return nameNode; > } > This did upgrade of metadata, closed process after finished, and later when > all services were started, upgrade of datanodes finished sucessfully and > system run . > What I'm suggesting right now is to add new startup parameter "-force", so > namenode can be started like this "hadoop namenode -upgrade -force", so we > can indicate that we want to terminate process after upgrade metadata on NN > is finished. Old functionality should be preserved, so users can run "hadoop > namenode -upgrade" on same way and with same behaviour as it was previous. > Thanks, > Danilo -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
