I ran into an issue yesterday where one of the blocks on HDFS seems to
have gone away. I would appreciate any help that you can provide.
I am running Hadoop on Amazon's Elastic Map Reduce (EMR). I am running
hadoop version 0.20.205 and hive version 0.8.1.
I have a hive table that is written out in the reduce step of a map
reduce job created by hive. This step completed with no errors, but
the next map-reduce job that tries to read it failed with the
following error message.
"Caused by: java.io.IOException: No live nodes contain current block"
I ran hadoop fs -cat on the same file and got the same error.
Looking more closely at the data and name node logs, I see this error
for the same problem block. It is in the name node when trying to read
the data.

Unfortunately the EMR cluster that had the data on it has since been
terminated. I have access to the logs, but I can't run an fsck. I can
provide more detailed stack traces etc. if you think it would be
helpful. Rerunning my process by re-generating the corrupted block
resolved the issue.
Would really appreciate if anyone has a reasonable explanation of what
happened and how to avoid in the future.
