Hey Sanjeev,

While figuring out the UI ports and statistics, would like to add another question.

So let's assume our scenario once more.  (Data nodes *dn01* to *dn10*  exist. Each data node has 10 x 10TB drives. )  Also remembering that the check takes 3 weeks (504 hours) and runs at 1MB/s.

In order to check the CRC 32C checksum, assuming maximum speed of 300MB/s, drives at 75% capacity, and that disks are checked in parallel, these are the timings I'm getting:

1) 300MB /s  :   7.5TB (7864320MB) .   7864320/300 * 60 * 60 = 7.28 Hours.

2) 1MB /s :        7.5TB (7864320MB) .   7864320/1 * 60 * 60 = 2184 Hours.  This equals 89.5 days. This would overlap with the next 3 week cycle (21 days). Therefore it can't effectively complete.

Given this, I'm thinking in order for HDFS to properly check larger clusters, the default values of *dfs.block.scanner.volume.bytes.per.second* and **dfs.datanode.scan.period.hours**would need to be adjusted. Otherwise, there is a potential that HDFS block (volume) scanner isn't checking things well.

Am I correct in the above?

Thx,
TK


Did these tests to get a rough estimate of the time it takes for the various checksums to complete:

This answers another question I had: under what conditions does the block / volume checker kick off.  When removing a datanode and adding it back in, it appears the checker will get kicked off on the worker at that time.

Only the Secure DataNode port returns a login, as to be expected. ( http://cm-r01wn01.mws.mds.xyz:1006/ )

    Hi Tom

    It might be worth restarting the DataNode process? I didn’t think
    you could disable the DataNode Web UI as such, but I could be
    wrong on this point. Out of interest, what does hdfs-site.xml say
    with regards to dfs.datanode.http.address/dfs.datanode.https.address?

    Regarding the logs, a quick look on GitHub suggests there may be
    a couple of useful log messages:

    
https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/88a9f42f320e7c16cf0b0b424283f8e4486ef286/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hdfs/server/datanode/BlockScanner.java

    For example, LOG.warn(“Periodic block scanner is not running”) or
    LOG.info <http://LOG.info>(“Initialized block scanner with
    targetBytesPerSec {}”).

    Of course, you’d need make sure those LOG statements are present
    in the Hadoop version included with CDH 6.3. Git “blame” suggests
    the LOG statements were added 6 years, so chance are you have them...

    I believe it’s the settings for

    Since the data block scanner related config parameters are not

    Hey Austin, Sanjeev,

    Thanks once more!  Took some time to review the pages.  That
    was certainly very helpful.  Appreciated!

    However, I tried to access https://dn01/blockScannerReport
    <https://dn01/blockScannerReport> on a test Cloudera 6.3

    https://dn01:10006/blockscannerreport
    <https://dn01:10006/blockscannerreport>

    Checked that port 50075 is up ( netstat -pnltu ).  There's no
    service on that port on the workers.  Checked the pages:

    
https://docs.cloudera.com/documentation/enterprise/5-14-x/topics/cdh_ig_ports_cdh5.html
    
<https://docs.cloudera.com/documentation/enterprise/5-14-x/topics/cdh_ig_ports_cdh5.html>

    It is defined on the pages.  Checked if the following is set:

    The following 2 configurations in/hdfs-site.xml/are the most
    used for block scanners.

     *


     *



      * *dfs.block.scanner.volume.bytes.per.second* to throttle
        the scan bandwidth to configurable bytes per second.
        *Default value is 1M*. Setting this to 0 will disable the
        block scanner.
      * *dfs.datanode.scan.period.hours*to configure the scan
        period, which defines how often a whole scan is performed.
        This should be set to a long enough interval to really
        take effect, for the reasons explained above. *Default
        value is 3 weeks (504 hours)*. Setting this to 0 will use
        the default value. Setting this to a negative value will
        disable the block scanner.

    These are NOT explicitly set. Checked hdfs-site.xml.  Nothing
    defined there.  Checked the Configuration tab in the cluster. 
    It's not defined either.

    Does this mean that the defaults are applied OR does it mean
    that the block / volume scanner is disabled?  I see the pages
    detail what values for these settings mean but I didn't see
    any notes pertaining to the situation where both values are
    not explicitly set.

        Hi Tom

        It is my understanding that in addition to block
        verification on client reads, each data node runs a
        DataBlockScanner in a background thread that periodically
        verifies all the blocks stored on the data node. The
        dfs.datanode.scan.period.hours property controls how
        often this verification occurs.

        I think the reports are available via the data node
        /blockScannerReport HTTP endpoint, although I’m not sure
        I ever actually looked at one. (add ?listblocks to get
        the verification status of each block).

        Hey Sanjeev,

        Allright.  Thank you once more.  This is clear.

        However, this poses an issue then.  If during the two
        years, disk drives develop bad blocks but do not
        necessarily fail to the point that they cannot be
        mounted, that checksum would have changed since those
        filesystem blocks can no longer be read.  However, from
        an HDFS perspective, since no checks are done regularly,
        that is not known.   So HDFS still reports that the file
        is fine, in other words, no missing blocks.  For
        example, if a disk is going bad, but those files are not
        read for two years, the system won't know that there is
        a problem.  Even when removing a data node temporarily
        and re-adding the datanode, HDFS isn't checking because
        that HDFS file isn't read.

        So let's assume this scenario.  Data nodes *dn01* to
        *dn10*  exist. Each data node has 10 x 10TB drives.

        And let's assume that there is one large file on those
        drives and it's replicated to factor of X3.

        If during the two years the file isn't read, and 10 of
        those drives develop bad blocks or other underlying
        hardware issues, then it is possible that HDFS will
        still report everything fine, even with a replication
        factor of 3.  Because with 10 disks failing, it's
        possible a block or sector has failed under each of the
        3 copies of the data. But HDFS would NOT know since
        nothing triggered a read of that HDFS file.  Based on
        everything below, then corruption is very much possible
        even with a replication of factor X3.  A this point the
        file is unreadable but HDFS still reports no missing
        blocks.

        Similarly, if once I take a data node out, I adjust one
        of the files on the data disks, HDFS will not know and
        still report everything fine.  That is until someone
        read's the file.

        Sounds like this is a very real possibility.

        TK

        Therefore, if I write a file to HDFS but access it two
        years later, then the checksum will be computed only
        twice, at the beginning of the two years and again at
        the end when a client connects? Correct?  As long as no
        process ever accesses the file between now and two
        years from now, the checksum is never redone and
        compared to the two year old checksum in the fsimage?

        yes, Exactly unless data is read checksum is not
        verified. (when data is written and when the data is
        read),
        if checksum is mismatched, there is no way to correct
        it, you will have to re-write that file.

        When datanode is added back in, there is no real read
        operation on the files themselves. The datanode just
        reports the blocks but doesn't really read the blocks
        that are there to re-verify the files and ensure
        consistency?

        yes, Exactly, datanode maintains list of files and
        their blocks, which it reports, along with total disk
        size and used size.
        Namenode only has list of blocks, unless datanodes is
        connected it wont know where the blocks are stored.

            after connecting will send heartbeat to namenode,
            with list of blocks it has (till then namenode
            will have under-replicated blocks).
            As soon as the datanode is connected to namenode,
            it will clear under-replicatred blocks.

            *When a client connects to read or write a file,
            it will run checksum to validate the file.*

            There is no independent process running to do
            checksum, as it will be heavy process on each node.

                Thank you.  That part I understand and am Ok
                with it.

                What I would like to know next is when again
                the CRC32C checksum is ran and checked against
                the fsimage that the block file has not
                changed or become corrupted?

                For example, if I take a datanode out, and
                within 15 minutes, plug it back in, does HDF
                rerun the CRC 32C on all data disks on that
                node to make sure blocks are ok?

                Cheers,

                    At what points is the checksum validated
                    (checked) after that? For example, is it
                    done on a daily basis or is it done only
                    when the file is accessed?
