I have also found that neither dfsadmin - setBalanacerBandwidth nor dfs.datanode.balance.bandwidthPerSec’ have any notable effect on apparent balancer rate. This is on Hadoop 2.2.0

Bandwidth is enough And i use command "bin/hdfs dfsadmin -setBalancerBandwidth 52428800 ". Yet balancing slow. I think because the file transfer speed is slow and move 5 files per 1 server . -----Original Message----- From: "Srikanth upputuri"<srikanth.upput...@huawei.com> To: "user@hadoop.apache.org"<user@hadoop.apache.org>; Cc: Sent: 2014-09-03 (수) 14:10:24 Subject: RE: How can I increase the speed balancing? I am not sure what you meant by ‘Bandwidth is not a lack of data nodes’ but have you configured the balancer bandwidth property ‘dfs.datanode.balance.bandwidthPerSec’? If not it defaults to 1KB/s. You can increase this to improve the balancer speed. You may also set it dynamically using the command ‘dfsadmin -setBalanacerBandwidth newbandwidth’ before running balancer.
