[jira] Created: (HADOOP-4585) unused and misleading configuration in hadoop-init

unused and misleading configuration in hadoop-init
--------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-4585
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4585
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: contrib/ec2
    Affects Versions: 0.18.1
            Reporter: Karl Anderson
            Priority: Minor


src/contrib/ec2/bin/image/hadoop-init is appended to rc.local on all
ec2 cluster boxes.  This shell script generates the hadoop-site.xml
configuration file.  It starts with some default settings, which are
used to populate the file.  These defaults are then overwritten by the
user data (from hadoop-ec2-env.sh) passed to the EC2 instance by
launch-hadoop-master and launch-hadoop-slaves.

This isn't a bug; setting variables in hadoop-ec2-env.sh does the
right thing.  However, it's dead and misleading code (well, it misled
me) and running a test Hadoop job to figure out what's going on takes
a little effort.

Suggested change to hadoop-init:

Remove these lines:

# set defaults
MAX_TASKS=3
[ "$INSTANCE_TYPE" == "m1.large" ] && MAX_TASKS=6
[ "$INSTANCE_TYPE" == "m1.xlarge" ] && MAX_TASKS=12

MAX_MAP_TASKS=$MAX_TASKS
MAX_REDUCE_TASKS=$MAX_TASKS


Add a comment before the lines which access the user data:

# get user data passed in by the ec2 instance launch
wget -q -O - http://169.254.169.254/latest/user-data | tr ',' '\n' > /tmp/user-data
source /tmp/user-data

[jira] Updated: (HADOOP-4585) unused and misleading configuration in hadoop-init

Karl Anderson updated HADOOP-4585:
----------------------------------

    Description: 
src/contrib/ec2/bin/image/hadoop-init is appended to rc.local on all
ec2 cluster boxes.  This shell script generates the hadoop-site.xml
configuration file.  It starts with some default settings, which are
used to populate the file.  These defaults are then overwritten by the
user data (from hadoop-ec2-env.sh) passed to the EC2 instance by
launch-hadoop-master and launch-hadoop-slaves.

This isn't a bug; setting variables in hadoop-ec2-env.sh does the
right thing.  However, it's dead and misleading code (well, it misled
me) and running a test Hadoop job to figure out what's going on takes
a little effort.

Suggested change to hadoop-init:

Remove these lines:

{noformat}
# set defaults
MAX_TASKS=3
[ "$INSTANCE_TYPE" == "m1.large" ] && MAX_TASKS=6
[ "$INSTANCE_TYPE" == "m1.xlarge" ] && MAX_TASKS=12

MAX_MAP_TASKS=$MAX_TASKS
MAX_REDUCE_TASKS=$MAX_TASKS
{noformat}

Add a comment before the lines which access the user data:

{noformat}
# get user data passed in by the ec2 instance launch
wget -q -O - http://169.254.169.254/latest/user-data | tr ',' '\n' > /tmp/user-data
source /tmp/user-data
{noformat}
