[jira] [Reopened] (HADOOP-8517) --config option does not work with
Hadoop installation on Windows
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8517?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Trupti Dhavle reopened HADOOP-8517:
-----------------------------------
--config is a switch given to export the HADOOP_CONF_DIR path in the command line.
When I run this on non-windows environment, the command works-
/Users/trupti/WORK/Software/Hadoop/hadoop-1.0.3/bin/hadoop --config /Users/trupti/WORK/Software/Hadoop/hadoop-1.0.3/conf dfs -ls /
Found 3 items
drwxr-xr-x - trupti supergroup 0 2012-06-12 14:09 /hdfsRegressionData
drwxr-xr-x - trupti supergroup 0 2012-06-12 11:31 /tmp
drwxr-xr-x - trupti supergroup 0 2012-06-20 10:12 /user
/Users/trupti/WORK/Software/Hadoop/hadoop-1.0.3/bin/hadoop
Usage: hadoop [--config confdir] COMMAND
where COMMAND is one of:
namenode -format format the DFS filesystem
...
...
But the same switch is unavailable for Windows Hadoop.
