thanks for all. my strategies for removing from 15 DN to 8 DN. 1. kill two DNs at same time. : NN will detect nodes' down and he will try to retain replication factors of lost blocks. 2. check your NN web UI. there is an info to let you know counts of under-replicated blocks. 3. if it is

Note though that its only possible to decommission 7 nodes at the same time and expect it to finish iff the remaining 8 nodes have adequate free space for the excess replicas. If you're just going to take them down for a short while (few mins each), its easier to do so in a rolling manner without

the rest of nodes to be alive has enough size to store. for this one that you've mentioned. its easier to do so in a rolling manner without need of a decommission. to check my understanding, just shutting down 2 of them and then 2 more and then 2 more without decommissions. is this correct?

Yes, you can do the downtime work in steps of 2 DNs at a time, especially since you mentioned the total work would be only ~30mins at most. On Tue, Apr 2, 2013 at 1:46 PM, Henry Junyoung Kim henry.jy...@gmail.com wrote: the rest of nodes to be alive has enough size to store. for this one that

@Harsh What's the reasons to make big gaps for removing nodes between decommission and just down nodes? In my understanding, both are necessary to copy un-replicated blocks to another alive nodes. If main costs of them are this one, total elapsed time couldn't be big different. Could you

It's different. If you just want to stop DN-1 a short time, just kill the DataNode process on DN-1. then do what you want. during this time, Namenode cannot receive the heart beat from DN-1, then namenode start to copy block replicates on DN-2 to another DN, supposed DN-2. But when you start

It's alowable to decommission multi nodes at the same time. Just write the all the hostnames which will be decommissioned to the exclude file and run bin/hadoop dfsadmin -refreshNodes. However you need to ensure the decommissioned DataNodes are minority of all the DataNodes in the cluster and

hi, hadoop users. to decommission a single node, there is necessary to wait to remove a node from a cluster for awhile. (in my case, 20 ~ 30 minutes) for the safety, I am decommissioning a node at a time. for the performance, am I able to remove multi nodes at same time?
