Hi all, When we set the hadoop configuration, we specify a storage directory path. Once we start running the cluster, we see some directories getting created inside that specified path. Current, Detach, tmp, storage. 1. Current directory is the actual storage directory, which is in accordance with the namespace of the datanode. 2. tmp directory is a temporary directory used for creating Blocks temporarily in this directory. And when finalized these blocks are moved to current directory. 3. storage is a file which encodes the storageID of the volume. *4. Detach:Any idea why this directory is maintained?* * * Correct me, if i am wrong in interpreting the functionality's of the other directories.
Thanks, Kartheek.
