can you please elaborate more..?
Like how many nodes are there in cluster and what's the replication factor for files..? Normally decommission will be success once all the replica's from the excluded node is replicated another node in cluster(another node should be availble,,)..

I tried removing a node from my cluster of 2 nodes by adding the ip in excludes file and running dfsadmin -refreshNodes command . But decommissioning takes a very long time I left it over the weekend and still it was not complete. Your inputs will help -- Warm Regards, Bharath
