Aseem,
Regd over-replication, it is mostly app related issue as Alex mentioned.
But if you are concerned about under-replicated blocks in fsck output :
These blocks should not stay under-replicated if you have enough nodes
and enough space on them (check NameNode webui).
Try grep-ing for one of the blocks in NameNode log (and datnode logs as
well, since you have just 3 nodes).

Aseem,
How are you verifying that blocks are not being replicated? Have you
ran
fsck? *bin/hadoop fsck /*
I'd be surprised if replication really wasn't happening. Can you run
fsck
and pay attention to "Under-replicated blocks" and "Mis-replicated
blocks?"
In fact, can you just copy-paste the output of fsck?

Hi Alex,
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Till now I have three
machines and I have to check the behavior of Hadoop so I want
replication factor should be 2. I started my Hadoop server with
replication factor 3. After that I upload 3 files to implement word
count program. But as my all files are stored on one machine and
replicated to other datanodes also, so my map reduce program takes
input
from one Datanode only. I want my files to be on different data node
so
to check functionality of map reduce properly.
Also before starting my Hadoop server again with replication
factor 2 I formatted all Datanodes and deleted all old data manually.
Please suggest what I should do now.
Regards,
Aseem Puri

To add to the question, how does one decide what is the optimal
replication
factor for a cluster. For instance what would be the appropriate
replication
factor for a cluster consisting of 5 nodes.

Did you load any files when replication was set to 3? If so, you'll

Note that most people run HDFS with a replication factor of 3.
There
have
been cases when clusters running with a replication of 2 discovered
new
bugs, because replication is so often set to 3. That said, if you
can
do
it, it's probably advisable to run with a replication factor of 3
instead
of
2.

Hi
I am a new Hadoop user. I have a small cluster with 3
Datanodes. In hadoop-site.xml values of dfs.replication property
is
2
but then also it is replicating data on 3 machines.
Please tell why is it happening?
