Show dead nodes information in dfsadmin -report -----------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-5094 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5094 Project: Hadoop Core Issue Type: New Feature Components: dfs Affects Versions: 0.18.2 Reporter: Jim Huang Priority: Minor Fix For: 0.21.0 As part of operations responsibility to bring back dead nodes, it will be good to have a quick way to obtain a list of dead data nodes. The current way is to scrape the namenode web UI page and parse that information, but this creates load on the namenode. In search of a less costly way, I noticed dfsadmin -report only reports data nodes with State: "In Service" and "Decommission in progress" get listed. Asking for a cheap way to obtain a list of dead nodes. In addition, can the following requests be reviewed for additional enhancement and changes to dfsadmin -report. - Consistent formatting output in "Remaining raw bytes:" for the data nodes should have a space between the exact value and the parenthesized value. Sample: Total raw bytes: 3842232975360 (3.49 TB) Remaining raw bytes: 146090593065(136.06 GB) Used raw bytes: 3240864964620 (2.95 TB) - Include the running version of Hadoop. - What is the meaning of "Total effective bytes"? - Display the hostname instead of the IP address for the data node (toggle option?) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
