[jira] [Created] (HADOOP-8114) Init scripts in 1.0.0/1.0.1 .deb distribution appear to rely on $USER in an unhealthy way - breaks status functionality, inconsistency between manual and automatic service startups

Init scripts in 1.0.0/1.0.1 .deb distribution appear to rely on $USER in an unhealthy way - breaks status functionality, inconsistency between manual and automatic service startups
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-8114
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8114
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.0.0, 1.0.1
         Environment: Debian/Ubuntu
            Reporter: Martin A. Juell


When I run hadoop using 
{{$ sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-namenode start}} (or whatever service), 

it creates pid file {{/var/run/hadoop/hadoop-root-namenode.pid}}. 

When the namenode is automatically started at boot, the file is called

{{/var/run/hadoop/hadoop--namenode.pid}} , i.e. the user part is missing. 

Either way, doing /etc/init.d/hadoop-namenode status always returns an error exit code. 

I've snooped around a bit, and the cause seems to be that the name of the pid file to look for is hardcoded: 

{{if start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --pidfile ${HADOOP_PID_DIR}/hadoop-hdfs-namenode.pid; then}}
(Line 77 of /etc/init.d/hadoop-jobtracker from hadoop-1.0.1 , .deb version)

{{start-stop-daemon -c}} doesn't change the {{$USER}} variable, but it appears that it should be set. I tried prepending {{USER=hdfs}} to the above line, starting the namenode, and now the pid file was named {{/var/run/hadoop/hadoop-hdfs-namenode.pid}}

Assuming I've understood thsi correctly, my proposed solution is to make the init scripts use a method of changing user where the {{$USER}} variable is also changed.

[jira] [Updated] (HADOOP-8114) Init scripts in 1.0.0/1.0.1 .deb distribution appear to rely on $USER in an unhealthy way - breaks status functionality, inconsistency between manual and automatic service startups

Posted by "Martin A. Juell (Updated) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.

Martin A. Juell updated HADOOP-8114:
------------------------------------

    Description: 
When I run hadoop using 
{{$ sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-namenode start}} (or whatever service), 

it creates pid file {{/var/run/hadoop/hadoop-root-namenode.pid}}. 

When the namenode is automatically started at boot, the file is called

{{/var/run/hadoop/hadoop--namenode.pid}} , i.e. the user part is missing. 

Either way, doing /etc/init.d/hadoop-namenode status always returns an error exit code. 

I've snooped around a bit, and the cause seems to be that the name of the pid file to look for is hardcoded: 

{{if start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --pidfile ${HADOOP_PID_DIR}/hadoop-hdfs-namenode.pid; then}}
(Line 77 of /etc/init.d/hadoop-jobtracker from hadoop-1.0.1 , .deb version)

{{start-stop-daemon -c}} doesn't change the {{$USER}} variable, but it appears that it should be set. I tried prepending {{USER=hdfs}} to the above line, starting the namenode, and now the pid file was named {{/var/run/hadoop/hadoop-hdfs-namenode.pid}} , i.e. what we want. 

Assuming I've understood this correctly, an easy solution is to make the init scripts use a method of changing user where the {{$USER}} variable is also changed.
