Hi list, I added a property dfs.hosts.exclude to my conf/hadoop-site.xml. Then refreshed my cluster with command bin/hadoop dfsadmin -refreshNodes It showed that it can only shut down the DataNode process but not included the TaskTracker process on each slaver specified in the excludes file. The jobtracker web still show that I hadnot shut down these nodes. How can i totally decommission these slaver nodes on-the-fly? Is it can be achieved only by operation on the master node?
