I am running hadoop-2.4.0 cluster. Each datanode has 10 disks, directories for 10 disks are specified in dfs.datanode.data.dir.

A few days ago, I modified dfs.datanode.data.dir of a datanode () to reduce disks. so two disks were excluded from dfs.datanode.data.dir, after the datanode was restarted, I expected that the namenode would update block locations. In other words, I thought the namenode should remove from block locations associated with blocks which were stored on excluded disks, but the namenode didnt update the block locations...

In my understanding, datanode send a block report to the namenode when datanode start so the namenode should update block locations immediately.

Is a bug? Could anyone please explain?

Let we change the default block size to 32 MB and replication factor to 1. Let Hadoop cluster consists of 4 DNs. Let input data size is 192 MB. Now I want to place data on DNs as following. DN1 and DN2 contain 2 blocks (32+32 = 64 MB) each and DN3 and DN4 contain 1 block (32 MB) each. Can it be possible? How to accomplish it?

I am writing temp files to HDFS with replication=1, so I expect the blocks to be stored on the writing node. Are there any tips, in general, for optimizing write performance to HDFS? I use 128K buffers in the write() calls. Are there any parameters that can be set on the connection or in HDFS configuration to optimize this use pattern?
