Hello HDFS brethren ! I've noticed that the testHDFSConf.xml has alot of references to supergroup.
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop/common/trunk/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/src/test/resources/testHDFSConf.xml 1) I wonder why this is hardcoded in the testHDFSConf.xml 2) Also, Im wondering if there are any good ideas for extending/modifying this file for a extention of the FileSystem implementation. Right now im doing some global find replace statements - but was thinking that maybe parameterizing the file would be a good JIRA - so that people could use this as a base test for FileSystem implementations Depending on feedback im certainly willing to submit and put in a first pass at a more modular version of this file. Its in many ways a very generalizable component of the hdfs trunk. Thanks! -- Jay Vyas http://jayunit100.blogspot.com
