Hi Folks,
I am looking for some advice on some the ways / techniques
that people are using to get around namenode failures (Both disk and
host).
We have a small cluster with several job scheduled for periodic
execution on the same host where name server runs. What we would like to
have is an automatic failover mechanism in hadoop so that a secondary
namenode automatically takes the roll of a master.
Secondary namenode is a misnomer. Description at
http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/FAQ#7 should help.
I can move this discussion to a JIRA if people are interested.
Thanks
