HDFS BackupNode support in 1.0.3
Hi,
I installed version 1.0.3 of Hadoop and I'm interested in running the
BackupNode.
The user guide explains the BackupNode and how to configure / start it:
http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r1.0.3/hdfs_user_guide.html#Backup+Node
I'm having difficulty starting the BackupNode and I assume that either the
documentation is out-of-synch, or the BackupNode is not really supported in
1.0.3. I say this because:
1. The documented command to start the BackupNode doesn't exist:
bin/hdfs namenode -checkpoint
(the "hdfs" script doesn't exist at all)
2. I also tried the "bin/hadoop namenode" command, but it only supports
these arguments:
Usage: java NameNode [-format] | [-upgrade] | [-rollback] | [-finalize]
| [-importCheckpoint]
Am I doing something wrong, or is the BackupNode not supported in 1.0.3
(and therefore the documentation incorrect)?
Regards,
Jaco

Jaco,
There is no BackupNode in 1.x. The docs were by mistake, see
http://search-hadoop.com/m/RMLq71stu6W.
Also, we're removing BackupNode and CheckpointNode in future (trunk
for now) in favor of HA NameNodes and the SecondaryNameNode.
