hi Ramya

Setup topology.script.file.name in your hadoop-site.xml  and the script.

check http://hadoop.apache.org/core/docs/current/cluster_setup.html , Hadoop Rack Awareness section.


Hi Lohit,
  I have not set the datanode to tell namenode which rack it belongs to.
Can you please tell me how do I do it? Is it using setNetworkLocation()?
My intention is to kill the datanodes in a given rack. So it would be
useful even if I obtain the subnet each datanode belongs to.

Thanks
Ramya

/default-rack is set when datanode has not set rackID. It is upto the
datanode to tell namenode which rack it belongs to.
Is your datanode doing that explicitly ?

Subject: How to retrieve rack ID of a datanode

Hi all,



I want to retrieve the Rack ID of every datanode. How can I do this?

I tried using getNetworkLocation() in
org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.protocol.DatanodeInfo. I am getting /default-rack
as the output for all datanodes.



Any advice?



Thank in advance

Ramya
