[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-4696) Better handling of dfsadmin command when namenode is slow

["Raghu Angadi (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4696?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12649450#action_12649450 ] 

Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-4696:
--------------------------------------

This is mainly for emergencies. Simpler thing might be for NN to provide webui for these commands so that it bypasses RPC traffic.

> But it would be nice to have a separate queue/handler which doesn't compete with regular rpc calls.
> All I wanted to do was dfsadmin -safemode enter, dfsadmin -finalizeUpgrade ...
