HI ,

I am trying to upgrade hadoop ,as part of this i have set Two environment
variables NEW_HADOOP_INSTALL and OLD_HADOOP_INSTALL .

After this i have executed the following command %
NEW_HADOOP_INSTALL/bin/start-dfs -upgrade

But namenode didnot started as it was throwing Inconsistent state exception
as the dfs.name.dir is not present

Here My question is while upgrading do we need to have the same old
configurations like dfs.name.dir..etc

Or Do i need to format that namenode first and then start upgrading?

Please let me know

Thanks

sandeep

Sandeep This Error occurs due to new namespace issue in Hadoop. Did u copy dfs.name.dir and fs.checkpoint dir to new Hadoop directory.

Namenode Format would cause u to loose all previous data.
