How-to: configure hadoop rack awareness

Update/genrate following files in ${HADOOP_CONF_DIR}: 

• core-site.xml:
          <!--Rack aware-->
          <property>
                  <name>net.topology.script.file.name</name>
                  <value>${HADOOP_CONF_DIR}/rack-topology.sh</value>
          </property>
• Add file ${HADOOP_CONF_DIR}/rack-topology.sh and make it executable:
  #!/bin/bash
  
  # Supply appropriate rack prefix
  RACK_PREFIX=default
  
  # To test, supply a hostname as script input:
  if [ $# -gt 0 ]; then
  CTL_FILE=rack_topology.data
  
  if [ ! -f ${HADOOP_CONF_DIR}/${CTL_FILE} ]; then
    echo -n "/$RACK_PREFIX/rack "
    exit 0
  fi
  
  while [ $# -gt 0 ] ; do
    nodeArg=$1
    exec< ${HADOOP_CONF_DIR}/${CTL_FILE}
    result=""
    while read line ; do
      ar=( $line )
      if [ "${ar[0]}" = "$nodeArg" ] ; then
        result="${ar[1]}"
      fi
    done
    shift
    if [ -z "$result" ] ; then
      echo -n "/$RACK_PREFIX/rack "
    else
      echo -n "/$RACK_PREFIX/rack_$result "
    fi
  done
  
  else
    echo -n "/$RACK_PREFIX/rack "
  fi
• Generate ${HADOOP_CONF_DIR}/rack_topology.data:
  # Add Hostnames to this file. Format <host ip> <rack_location>
  ip1 01
  ip2 02
• Test to make sure could get rack information:
  [hadoop@master01 hadoop]$ ./rack-topology.sh master01.dc.tj
  /default/rack_01
• rsync the ${HADOOP_CONF_DIR} in all nodes od hadoop cluster
