Yongjun Zhang commented on HDFS-7204: ------------------------------------- HI [~aw], Thanks for your work on this. I have a question about running balancer as daemon. User used to run the balancer at command line, and wait for it to finish (it finishes when balancing criteria is satisfied). Now it can be run as a daemon, does it mean the balancer daemon continues to monitor the HDFS state and automatically start the balancing process when detecting that the balancing criteria is not satisfied? thanks. > balancer doesn't run as a daemon > -------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-7204 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-7204 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: scripts > Reporter: Allen Wittenauer > Assignee: Allen Wittenauer > Labels: newbie > Attachments: HDFS-7204-01.patch, HDFS-7204.patch > > > From HDFS-7184, minor issues with balancer: > * daemon isn't set to true in hdfs to enable daemonization > * start-balancer script has usage instead of hadoop_usage -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
