Hi All, I want to remove nodes from my cluster *gracefully*. I added the following lines to my hdfs-site.xml
<property> <name>dfs.hosts.exclude</name> <value>/opt/hadoop/conf/exclude</value> </property> In exclude file i have mentioned the hostname of the datanode. Then I run 'hadoop dfsadmin -refreshNodes' On the web interface the node now appear in both the 'Live Node' and 'Dead Node' (but there's nothing in the Decommissioning Node list). What am I missing during the decommission process? -- Regards, Varun Kumar.P
