[jira] [Created] (IGNITE-345) documentation: better describe
secondary filesystem configuration
Ivan Veselovsky created IGNITE-345:
--------------------------------------
Summary: documentation: better describe secondary filesystem configuration
Key: IGNITE-345
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-345
Project: Ignite
Issue Type: Wish
Components: documentation
Affects Versions: sprint-2
Reporter: Ivan Veselovsky
Currently the documentation on how to configure the secondary HDFS (http://hadoop.gridgain.org/latest/GGFS) is not quite clear.
1) The key point there is that this mode requires two different Hadoop configurations (and, perhaps, installations): Hadoop server should have ordinary hdfs filesystem configured, like hdfs://aaa:9000/ , while Hadoop client should use igfs:// filesystem , that, in turn, runs upon the hdfs filesystem configured in the Hadoop server. This way, the Hadoop client and Hadoop server have its own core-site.xml each. In case of local deployment (everything on one machine) this may be done as 2 different Hadoop configurations or 2 different copies of Hadoop installation.
2) the second point that is quite unclear is the purpose of "cfgPath" constructor attribute (see below) of the Ignite node configuration. Actually it supposed to mean the path to server Hadoop configuration (core-site.xml), but actually it is optional (currently it is impossible to omit this paramater, but it is possible to use empty config file.) This config is used (1) to get the secondary hdfs URI, if the one is not given directly as "uri" paramater , and (2) to get additional parameters of that filesystem, if any. The difficulty there is that this config file may actually reside on a different node (host), so it may be tricky to provide local URL to this configuration. (We'll discuss possibility to omit this paramater in configuration at all.)
