When I checked hdfs I found out that in system directory present in HDFS , all the Under replicated blocks are present :
[root@master ~]# Hadoop/hadoop-0.20.2/bin/hadoop dfs -ls /root/Hadoop//hadoop-root//mapred/system Found 6 items drwxrwxrwx - root supergroup 0 2011-09-27 18:17 /root/Hadoop/hadoop-root/mapred/system/job_201109201112_0001 drwxrwxrwx - root supergroup 0 2011-09-27 18:20 /root/Hadoop/hadoop-root/mapred/system/job_201109201112_0003 drwxrwxrwx - root supergroup 0 2011-09-27 18:24 /root/Hadoop/hadoop-root/mapred/system/job_201109201112_0005 drwxrwxrwx - root supergroup 0 2011-09-27 18:28 /root/Hadoop/hadoop-root/mapred/system/job_201109201112_0006 drwxrwxrwx - root supergroup 0 2011-09-28 10:09 /root/Hadoop/hadoop-root/mapred/system/job_201109201112_0009 -rw------- 2 root supergroup 4 2011-09-20 11:13 /root/Hadoop/hadoop-root/mapred/system/jobtracker.info Now since , I just have replication set to 2 nodes, can I just fix under replicated block error ? -----Original Message----- From: Stuti Awasthi Sent: Monday, October 17, 2011 12:02 PM To: hdfs-user@hadoop.apache.org Subject: RE: Missing Replicas and Under replicated blocks After some search I found out few things which I think can be linked in some way but I am not sure. If anyone can suggest on this : 1. I have set <hadoop.tmp.dir> value in core-site.xml <property> <name>hadoop.tmp.dir</name> <value>/root/Hadoop/hadoop-root</value> <description>A base for other temporary directories.</description> </property> 2. I have not set <mapred.system.dir> separately in conf files. 3. In servers directory structure ${ hadoop.tmp.dir}/mapred, "system" directory is not created. 4. "system " is created under /tmp directory : /tmp/hadoop-root/mapred/system Can all this be linked with Missing replicas ? -----Original Message----- From: Stuti Awasthi Sent: Monday, October 17, 2011 11:52 AM To: hdfs-user@hadoop.apache.org Subject: Missing Replicas and Under replicated blocks Hi , I have a mini Hadoop cluster of 3 nodes with DN and TT running on each node and replication is set to 3.By mistake I tried to write few files which requires replication of 10. When I checked the HDFS status with FSCK utility it shows : /root/Hadoop/hadoop-root/mapred/system/job_201109201112_0001/job.jar 2352841 bytes, 1 block(s): Under replicated blk_-9220069752024407718_1546.
