Re: Hodoop namenode startup problem

2010-08-05 Thread edward choi
I've fixed the problem.

The reason namenode won't start was that I accidentally started the cluster
with root account.
This somehow changed the ownership of some hadoop-related files(ex: log
files, and hadoop.tmp.dir/dfs/name/current/edits) from hadoop:hadoop to
root:root.
After I fixed the ownership issue, everything went fine.
Thanks for the concern.

 Could you check the NameNode/SecondaryNameNode logs and try to find
 the exact issue? Post the errors (if) it contains here, so we can try
 to help you better.

I am currently stuck with hadoop namenode that won't start.

When I type start-all.sh, everything prints out fine.
