Provide a mechanism for a client Hadoop configuration to 'poison' daemon startup; i.e., disallow
daemon start up on a client config.

Key: HADOOP-7652
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7652
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: conf
Reporter: Philip Zeyliger
We've seen folks who have been given Hadoop configuration to act as a client accidentally
type "hadoop namenode" and get things into a confused, or incorrect state. Most recently,
we've seen data corruption when users accidentally run extra secondary namenodes (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2305).
I'd like to propose that we introduce a configuration property, say, "client.poison.servers",
which, if set, disables the Hadoop daemons (nn, snn, jt, tt, etc.) with a reasonable error
message. Hadoop administrators can hand out/install configs that are on machines intended
to just be clients with a little less worry that they'll accidentally get run.
