Add the topology script property to core-site.xml

Assign the name of the topology script to the net.topology.script.file.name property in core-site.xml.

  1. Stop the HDFS cluster.
  2. Add the topology script file to core-site.xml.
    In the following example, the value of the property net.topology.script.file.name is the name of the topology script file.
    
    <property>
      <name>net.topology.script.file.name</name> 
      <value>/etc/hadoop/conf/rack-topology.sh</value>
    </property>
    By default, the topology script processes up to 100 requests per invocation. You can specify a number other than the default value with the net.topology.script.number.args property, as shown in the following example:
    
    <property> 
      <name>net.topology.script.number.args</name> 
      <value>75</value>
    </property>
