Hadoop has lots of different configurations in core-site.xml, hdfs-site.xml,
... all of which eventually get loaded into the Configuration object used to
create a FileSystem instance. There are so many different configurations
related to security, HA, etc. that it is almost impossible for me to guess
exactly which ones you need to have set correctly to make this work. Typically
what we do for storm to be able to talk to HDFS is to package the complete set
of configs that appear on a Hadoop Gateway with the topology jar when it is
shipped. This guarantees that the config is the same as on the gateway and
should behave the same way. You can also grab them from the name node or any
of the hadoop compute nodes.
This will work for the HdfsBolt that loads default configurations from the
classpath before overriding them with any custom configurations you set for
that bolt.

Bobby,What do you mean by client here? In this context, do you consider
hdfsbolt a client? If yes, then which configuration you are referring to? I've
seen the following, but I am not sure if I follow.
- dfs.client.failover.proxy.provider.[nameservice ID] - the Java class that
HDFS clients use to contact the Active NameNodeConfigure the name of the Java
class which will be used by the DFS Client to determine which NameNode is the
current Active, and therefore which NameNode is currently serving client
requests. The only implementation which currently ships with Hadoop is the
ConfiguredFailoverProxyProvider, so use this unless you are using a custom one.
For example: <property>
<name>dfs.client.failover.proxy.provider.mycluster</name>
<value>org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.ha.ConfiguredFailoverProxyProvider</value>
</property>

HDFS HA provides fail-over for the name node and the client determines which
name node is the active one but should be completely transparent to you if the
client is configured correctly.

Hi All,
Has anyone used HdfsBolt with hdfs in HA mode? How would you determine
which hdfs node is the active node?
thanks
