Alex Newman commented on HBASE-2750: ------------------------------------ I assume it should only prevent the regionserver/master daemons from starting? > Add sanity check for system configs in hbase-daemon wrapper > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-2750 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2750 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: scripts > Affects Versions: 0.90.0 > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Priority: Minor > Labels: noob > > We should add a config variable like MIN_ULIMIT_TO_START in hbase-env.sh. If > the daemon script finds ulimit < this value, it will print a warning and > refuse to start. We can make the default set to 0 so that this doesn't affect > non-production clusters, but in the tuning guide recommend that people change > it to the expected ulimit. > (I've seen it happen all the time where people configure ulimit on some > nodes, add a new node to the cluster, and forgot to re-tune it on the new > one, and then that new one borks the whole cluster when it joins) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
