It seems u have formatted the namenode twice. In this case the namespace id is not replicated to the datanodes.
Stop all the hadoop daemons and then try the following : 1. vi $PATH_TO_HADOOP_DATASTORE/dfs/name/current/VERSION and copy the namespaceID value. 2.Now open a terminal on every machine having a datanode and do the following: vi $PATH_TO_HADOOP_DATASTORE/dfs/data/current/VERSION Delete the entry corresponding to namespaceID and paste the value copied in Step 1. Save and exit. Restart the hadoop daemons without formatting the namenode. ∞ Shashwat Shriparv On Fri, Nov 16, 2012 at 1:22 PM, shashwat shriparv < dwivedishash...@gmail.com> wrote: > Delete the VERSION for the datanode before format. > > > > ∞ > Shashwat Shriparv > > > > > On Fri, Nov 16, 2012 at 1:15 PM, hadoop hive <hadooph...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Seems like you havn't format your cluster (if its 1st time made). >> >> On Fri, Nov 16, 2012 at 9:58 AM, a...@hsk.hk <a...@hsk.hk> wrote: >> >>> Hi, >>> >>> Please help! >>> >>> I have installed a Hadoop Cluster with a single master (master1) and >>> have HBase running on the HDFS.
