It seems that this piece of code , does a df to get the amount of free space ( got this info from the irc channel ) And it is trying to do a Number conversion on information returned by df
/Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 1891213200 -45291780 1838887216 - / . . Of course in my case the Use% is "-" and that is an issue :) BTW , this datanode had stopped responding.. it is always good idea to do df thus , to make sure that this does not happen during job execution and may be even as a part of the ./hadoop dfsadmin -report pbly. Will close the thread , when this is resolved with the disk issue ( which it seems to be ). vishalsant wrote: > > Hi guys, > > I see the exception below when I launch a job > > > 0/04/27 10:54:16 INFO mapred.JobClient: map 0% reduce 0% > 10/04/27 10:54:22 INFO mapred.JobClient: Task Id : > attempt_201004271050_0001_m_005760_0, Status : FAILED > Error initializing attempt_201004271050_0001_m_005760_0: > java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "-" > at > java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(NumberFormatException.java:48) > at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:476) > at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:499) > at org.apache.hadoop.fs.DF.parseExecResult(DF.java:125) > at org.apache.hadoop.util.Shell.runCommand(Shell.java:179) > at org.apache.hadoop.util.Shell.run(Shell.java:134) > at org.apache.hadoop.fs.DF.getAvailable(DF.java:73) > at > org.apache.hadoop.fs.LocalDirAllocator$AllocatorPerContext.getLocalPathForWrite(LocalDirAllocator.java:329) > at > org.apache.hadoop.fs.LocalDirAllocator.getLocalPathForWrite(LocalDirAllocator.java:124) > at > org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskTracker.localizeJob(TaskTracker.java:751) > at > org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskTracker.startNewTask(TaskTracker.java:1665) > at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskTracker.access$1200(TaskTracker.java:97) > at > org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskTracker$TaskLauncher.run(TaskTracker.java:1630) > > > > Few things > > * I ran fsck on the namenode and no corrupted blocks reported. > * The -report from dfsadmin , says the datanode is up. > > -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/DataNode-not-able-to-spawn-a-Task-tp28378863p28379065.html Sent from the Hadoop core-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
