Hi dhruba,
we are running the latest Sun Java 6u10-beta, and the namenode runs with
25 threads on a quad core machine.
Cu on the 'net,

What version of java are you using? How may threads are you running on
the namenode? How many cores does your machines have?

Hi Hadoopers,
we are experiencing a lot of "Could not obtain block / Could not get block
locations IOExceptions" when processing a 400 GB large Map/Red job using our
6 nodes DFS & MapRed (v. 0.16.4) cluster. Each node is equipped with a 400GB
Sata HDD and running Suse Linux Enterprise Edition. While processing this
"huge" MapRed job, the name node doesn't seem to receive heartbeats from
datanodes for up to a couple of minutes and thus marks those nodes as dead
even they are still alive and serving blocks according to their logs. We
first suspected network congestion and measured the inter-node bandwidth
using scp - receiving throughputs of 30MB/s. CPU utilization is about 100%
when processing the job, however, the tasktracker instances shouldn't cause
such datanode drop outs?
In the datanode logs, we see a lot of java.io.IOException: Block
blk_-7943096461180653598 is valid, and cannot be written to. errors...
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
