Hi everyone,
So I have this blade server with 4x500 GB hard disks.
I want to use all these hard disks for hadoop HDFS.
How can I achieve this target ?
If I install hadoop on 1 hard disk and use other hard disk as normal
partitions eg. -
/dev/sda1, -- HDD 1 -- Primary partition -- Linux + Hadoop installed on it
/dev/sda2, -- HDD 2 -- Mounted partition -- /mnt/dev/sda2
/dev/sda3, -- HDD3 -- Mounted partition -- /mnt/dev/sda3
/dev/sda4, -- HDD4 -- Mounted partition -- /mnt/dev/sda4
And if I create a hadoop.tmp.dir on each partition say --
"/tmp/hadoop-datastore/hadoop-hadoop"
and on core-site.xml, if I configure like --
<property>
<name>hadoop.tmp.dir</name>
<value>/tmp/hadoop-datastore/hadoop-hadoop,/mnt/dev/sda2/tmp/hadoop-datastore/hadoop-hadoop,/mnt/dev/sda3/tmp/hadoop-datastore/hadoop-hadoop,/mnt/dev/sda4/tmp/hadoop-datastore/hadoop-hadoop</value>
<description>A base for other temporary directories.</description>
</property>
Will it work ??
Can I set the above property for dfs.data.dir also ?
Thanks,
Praveenesh
