Vinay, Two questions.
1. Configure the another namenode's configuration. What exactly to configure. 2. What is zkfs?

Configure the another namenode's configuration in the running namenode and all datanode's configurations. And configure logical fs.defaultFS 2. Configure the shared storage related configuration. 3. Stop the running NameNode and all datanodes. 4. Execute 'hdfs namenode -initializeSharedEdits' from the existing namenode installation, to transfer the edits to shared storage. 5. Now format zkfc using 'hdfs zkfc -formatZK' and start zkfc using 'hadoop-daemon.sh start zkfc' 6. Now restart the namenode from existing installation. If all configurations are fine, then NameNode should start successfully as STANDBY, then zkfc will make it to ACTIVE. 7. Now install the NameNode in another machine (master2) with same configuration, except 'dfs.ha.namenode.id'. 8. Now instead of format, you need to copy the name dir contents from another namenode (master1) to master2's name dir. For this you are having 2 options. a. Execute 'hdfs namenode -bootStrapStandby' from the master2 installation. b. Using 'scp' copy entire contents of name dir from master1 to master2's name dir. 9. Now start the zkfc for second namenode ( No need to do zkfc format now). Also start the namenode (master2) Regards, Vinay- From: Uma Maheswara Rao G [mailto:mahesw...@huawei.com] Sent: Friday, November 16, 2012 1:26 PM To: user@hadoop.apache.org Subject: RE: High Availability - second namenode (master2) issue: Incompatible namespaceIDs If you format namenode, you need to cleanup storage directories of DataNode as well if that is having some data already. DN also will have namespace ID saved and compared with NN namespaceID. if you format NN, then namespaceID will be changed and DN may have still older namespaceID. So, just cleaning the data in DN would be fine.

I have installed a Hadoop Cluster with a single master (master1) and have HBase running on the HDFS. Now I am setting up the second master (master2) in order to form HA. When I used JPS to check the cluster, I found : 2782 Jps 2126 NameNode 2720 SecondaryNameNode i.e. The datanode on this server could not be started In the log file, found: 2012-11-16 10:28:44,851 ERROR org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.datanode.DataNode: java.io.IOException: Incompatible namespaceIDs in /app/hadoop/tmp/dfs/data: namenode namespaceID = 1356148070; datanode namespaceID = 1151604993 One of the possible solutions to fix this issue is to: stop the cluster, reformat the NameNode, restart the cluster. QUESTION: As I already have HBASE running on the cluster, if I reformat the NameNode, do I need to reinstall the entire HBASE? I don't mind to have all data lost as I don't have many data in HBASE and HDFS, however I don't want to re-install HBASE again. On the other hand, I have tried another solution: stop the DataNode, edit the namespaceID in current/VERSION (i.e. set namespaceID=1151604993), restart the datanode, it doesn't work: Warning: $HADOOP_HOME is deprecated. starting master2, logging to /usr/local/hadoop-1.0.4/libexec/../logs/hadoop-hduser-master2-master2.out Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: master2 Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: master2 at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:190) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:301) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:247) Could not find the main class: master2.
