Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-124: ------------------------------------- This patch does not apply to the current trunk. Can you please update your sources to the current trunk, resolving any conflicts, and re-generate the patch? Thanks! > don't permit two datanodes to run from same dfs.data.dir > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-124 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-124 > Project: Hadoop > Type: Bug > Components: dfs > Versions: 0.2 > Environment: ~30 node cluster > Reporter: Bryan Pendleton > Assignee: Konstantin Shvachko > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 0.3 > Attachments: DatanodeRegister.txt, Hadoop-124.patch > > DFS files are still rotting. > I suspect that there's a problem with block accounting/detecting identical > hosts in the namenode. I have 30 physical nodes, with various numbers of > local disks, meaning that my current 'bin/hadoop dfs -report" shows 80 nodes > after a full restart. However, when I discovered the problem (which resulted > in losing about 500gb worth of temporary data because of missing blocks in > some of the larger chunks) -report showed 96 nodes. I suspect somehow there > were extra datanodes running against the same paths, and that the namenode > was counting those as replicated instances, which then showed up > over-replicated, and one of them was told to delete its local block, leading > to the block actually getting lost. > I will debug it more the next time the situation arises. This is at least the > 5th time I've had a large amount of file data "rot" in DFS since January. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
