Hope you are using hadoop-2.6 release. As you are targeting to amount of time it’s getting processed, your proposed configs options ( ipc.ping.interval and split threshold can be changed) should be fine . I mean to say, 2nd and 3rd options.
You can try once, let’s know. Had seen related issue recently , may be you can have look at HDFS-10301. --Brahma Reddy Battula From: Chackravarthy Esakkimuthu [mailto:chaku.mi...@gmail.com] Sent: 03 May 2016 18:10 To: Gokul Cc: user@hadoop.apache.org Subject: Re: Guideline on setting Namenode RPC Handler count (client and service) To add more details on why NN startup delayed while setting handler count as 600. We are seeing many duplicate full block reports (FBR) from most of the DN's for long time (around 3 hours since NN startup) even though NN comes out of safe mode in 10 or 15 mins. Since NN comes out of safe mode, duplicate FBR's are not rejected. It's because DN getting timeout (ipc.ping.interval=60s default) on block report RPC call before NN completes processing the blockReport RPC call (takes around 70-80 secs). Hence DN does not realise that FBR got processed and it kept trying to send again. But NN has processed it already and gets error only while sending output. The reason why NN takes more than 1 min to process FBR : * FBR contains array of storageBlockReport. (no of data directories configured is 10) * Name system write lock is acquired on processing each storageBlockReport and hence single handler thread cannot just complete processing FBR completely once it acquires the lock. * There is a lock contention with other 599 handler threads who are also busy in processing FBR from all DN's. Hence acquiring lock gets delayed and then next storageBlockReport gets processed. * t -> storageBlockReport[0] --> Handler thread starts FBR processing. * t + 5s -> storageBlockReport[1] * t + 12s -> storageBlockReport[2] * ... * ... * t + 70s -> storageBlockReport[9] --> Handler thread completes FBR processing. We are looking for some suggestion to resolve this situation of having delayed start of NN. (delayed start means even though NN comes out of safe mode, because of duplicate FBR, serviceRPC latency remains high and skips the heartbeat for more than 1 minute continuously) Possible config options are : 1. Current value for dfs.blockreport.initialDelay is 120s. This can be increased to 10 - 15 mins to avoid block report storm. 2. Increase ipc.ping.interval from 60s to 90s or so. 3. Decrease dfs.blockreport.split.threashold to 100k (from 1M) so that block reports from DN will be sent for each storageBlock. Hence DN would get the response quickly from NN. But this would delay in sending the heartbeat as each RPC call might consume upto 60 secs timeout. Hence heartbeat might get delayed for 590s (worst case if all rpc calls succeed consuming 59s). Or can we move the write lock at higher level and take it once, process all storageBlockReports and release it. because from logs, we have seen that each storageBlockReport processing takes 20ms-100ms and hence single FBR would consume 1s. Also since FBR calls are not that frequent, (block report once in 6 hours in our cluster / when disk failure happens) Is it ok to reduce the lock granularity? Please give suggestion on the same. Also correct me if I am wrong.

Cluster details : No of datanodes - 1200 NN hardware - 74G heap allocated to NN process, 40 core machine Total blocks - 80M+ Total Files/Directories - 60M+ Total FSObjects - 150M+ We have isolated service and client RPC by enabling service-rpc. Currently dfs.namenode.handler.count=400 and dfs.namenode.service.handler.count=200 Is 200 good fit for this cluster or any change recommended. Please help out. Thanks in advance! (We have tried increasing service handler count to 600 and have seen delay in NN startup time and then it looked quite stable. And setting it to 200 decreases the delay in startup time but it has slightly higher rpcQueueTime and rpcAvgProcessingTime comparing to 600 handler count.)
