Hi Prem, The datanode pid file name is "hadoop-[USERNAME]-datanode.pid" and by default it is present at location /tmp directory. Here username is the user with which you start your daemon process. -----Original Message----- From: Jain, Prem [mailto:premanshu.j...@netapp.com] Sent: Friday, May 27, 2011 7:29 PM To: Stuti Awasthi Subject: RE: Can't start datanode?
