Hi, We had a cluster of 9 machines with one name node, and 8 data nodes (2 had 220GB hard disk space, rest had 450GB). Most of the space on first machines with 250GB disk space was consumed. Now we added two new machines each with 450GB hard disk space as data nodes.
Is there any way to redistribute files on HDFS so that there will considerable free space left on first two machines without downloading the files to one local machine and then uploading it back on HDFS? ~ Prashant, SIEL, IIIT-Hyderabad.
