[jira] [Created] (HADOOP-7424) Log an error if the topology script
doesn't handle multiple args
Log an error if the topology script doesn't handle multiple args
----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-7424
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7424
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Eli Collins
ScriptBasedMapping#resolve currently warns and returns null if it passes n arguments to the topology script and gets back a different number of resolutions. This indicates a bug in the topology script (or it's input) and therefore should be an error.
{code}
// invalid number of entries returned by the script
LOG.warn("Script " + scriptName + " returned "
+ Integer.toString(m.size()) + " values when "
+ Integer.toString(names.size()) + " were expected.");
return null;
{code}
There's only one place in Hadoop (FSNamesystem init) where we pass multiple arguments to the topology script, and it only done for performance (to trigger resolution/caching of all the hosts in the includes file on startup). So currently a topology script that doesn't handle multiple arguments just means the initial cache population doesn't work.
