Make NN and DN handle in a intuitive way comma-separated configuration strings ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-455 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-455 Project: HDFS Issue Type: Improvement Components: data-node, name-node Affects Versions: 0.20.1, 0.21.0 Reporter: Michele (aka pirroh) Catasta Priority: Minor The following configuration causes problems: <property> <name>dfs.data.dir</name> <value>/mnt/hstore2/hdfs, /home/foo/dfs</value> </property> The problem is that the space after the comma causes the second directory for storage to be " /home/foo/dfs" which is in a directory named <SPACE> which contains a sub-dir named "home" in the hadoop datanodes default directory. This will typically cause the user's home partition to fill, but will be very hard for the user to understand since a directory with a whitespace name is hard to understand.
