Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HDFS-7135:
--------------------------------------------

bq. This is effectively a dupe of HDFS-6956.

HDFS-6956 is about servers, this is about clients.  It's not possible to do an 
RPC to clients to change their tracing configuration because clients normally 
don't expose a port and a listening service to the world.  Plus clients are 
often short-lived, so by the time you could even do an RPC, the client might 
have exited.

bq. Adding manual tracing command which can be used like 'hdfs dfs -trace -ls 
/'.

I sort of appreciate the simplicity of this interface, but I'm not sure how I 
feel about this patch.  It seems more consistent to configure client-side 
tracing by setting a configuration key.  I suppose the \-trace command added 
here can simply override that configuration, though.
