Allen Wittenauer commented on HDFS-7204: ---------------------------------------- bq. Maybe we change the variable name "daemon" to something like "run_via_dh" (run via daemon handler) and add a comment like Allen summarized? Thanks. Sure. Open a jira under hadoop common to rename daemon and I'll work something up. BTW, it's probably worth pointing out that if you look at hadoop-config.sh, you'll see where --daemon is specifically handled. > 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 > Affects Versions: 3.0.0 > Reporter: Allen Wittenauer > Assignee: Allen Wittenauer > Priority: Blocker > 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)
