Instead of using ${hadoop.tmp.dir}/dfs/data you give multiple directories with 
absolute paths.Just try as 
follows:<property><name>hadoop.data.dir</name><value>/home1/user1/dir1,/home2/user2/dir2</value></property>This
 will allow HDFS to write data into all specified directories.

dfs.data.dir
${hadoop.tmp.dir}/dfs/dataDetermines where on the local filesystem an DFS data 
node should store its blocks. If this is a comma-delimited list of directories, 
then data will be stored in all named directories, typically on different 
devices. Directories that do not exist are ignored.

Hi Tariq,
 
What is the default value of dfs.data.dir? My hdfs-site.xml doesnt have this 
value defined. So what is the default value?
 
Thanks,
Raj

Hello Raj,


    Although the way which Mustaqeem has told is correct, there is more 
appropriate way to do this. Add the "dfs.data.dir" property in your 
hdfs-site.xml and give the "path you want to use for HDFS data storage" as its 
value. The directory pointed by hadoop.tmp.dir also contains the metadata and 
some other temporary files, so it's always better to have a dedicated location 
to store the actual HDFS data.





Warm Regards,
Tariq

Thanks Mustaqeem.
 
hadoop.tmp.dir - Can this store HDFS files? I mean - is there any difference in 
files from the one we create under HADOOP_HOME.

You can mentioned the "hadoop.tmp.dir" property in the core-site.xml as - 

<property>
<name>hadoop.tmp.dir</name>
<value>/app/software/app1</value>
</property>
"/app/software/app1" will be used as location for storing the hdfs files.

Hi,
 
I have a one node Hadoop cluster for my POC. The HADOOP_HOME is under a 
directory
 
/usr/home/hadoop
 
I dont have much space on /usr and want to use other accounts/applications 
storage which are located at /app/software/app1 etc.,
 
How can I use the /app/software/app1 location for my HDFS files and storage. Is 
it possible? Please advise.
 
Thanks,
Raj
