thanks. i verified, datanode is up and running i ran the below command:
Administrator@DFS-DC /cygdrive/c/hadoop-1.1.2/hadoop-1.1.2/bin $ ./hadoop dfs -copyFromLocal C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\hadoop-1.1.2.tar /wksp copyFromLocal: File C:/Users/Administrator/Desktop/hadoop-1.1.2.tar does not exist. it says , file does not exist. as my cluster is windows based , i dont know how dir path needs to be used i am using cygwin for linux style formatting i tried below as well : Administrator@DFS-DC /cygdrive/c/hadoop-1.1.2/hadoop-1.1.2/bin $ ./hadoop dfs -copyFromLocal /cygdrive/c/Users/Administrator/Desktop/hadoop-1.1.2.tar /wksp copyFromLocal: File /cygdrive/c/Users/Administrator/Desktop/hadoop-1.1.2.tar does not exist. Administrator@DFS-DC /cygdrive/c/hadoop-1.1.2/hadoop-1.1.2/bin $ ./hadoop dfs -copyFromLocal /cygdrive/c/Users/Administrator/Desktop/hadoop-1.1.2.tar.gz /wksp copyFromLocal: File /cygdrive/c/Users/Administrator/Desktop/hadoop-1.1.2.tar.gz does not exist. please suggest regards On Mon, Aug 5, 2013 at 6:00 PM, manish dunani <manishd...@gmail.com> wrote: > You can not physically access the datanode.You have to understand it to > logically and it really happens. > > Type "jps" command to check ur datanode was started or not. > > when user stores the file into hdfs ,the request is goes to datanode and > datanode will divide the file into number of blocks. > Each block size is 64mb or 128mb.but,default is 64 mb. > > The default replication factor is 1 that was u already set in ur > hdfs-site.xml .If u want to change ur replication factor from 1 to 3 for > particular file or particular directory in hdfs then use the below commands > appropriately. > > First load any file to hdfs using command: > > bin/hadoop dfs -copyFromLocal /ur/local/directory/path/to/file > /ur/hdfs/directory/path. > > *commands:* > > To set replication of an individual file to 4: > > ./bin/hadoop dfs -setrep -w 4 /path/to/file > > You can also do this recursively.
