Stephen Chu created HDFS-4048: --------------------------------- Summary: Use ERROR instead of INFO for volume failure logs Key: HDFS-4048 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4048 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha Reporter: Stephen Chu Assignee: Stephen Chu Fix For: 3.0.0, 2.0.3-alpha
I misconfigured the permissions of the DataNode data directories (they were owned by root, instead of hdfs). I wasn't aware of this misconfiguration until a few days later. I usually search through the logs for WARN and ERROR but didn't find messages at these levels that indicated volume failure. After more carefully reading the logs, I found: {code} 2012-10-01 13:07:10,440 INFO org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.common.Storage: Cannot access storage directory /data/4/dfs/dn 2012-10-01 13:07:10,440 INFO org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.common.Storage: Storage directory /data/4/dfs/dn does not exist. {code} I think we should bump the log level to ERROR. This will make the problem more visible to users. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
