HDFS: How quickly can I increase the number of replicas?

0 votes
861 views

My cluster version hdfs 2.2 stable ( 2 ha namenodes, 10 datanodes). I was command bin/hdfs dfs -setrep -R 2 / ( replication 1 to 2 )

I found that HDFS is actually replicating the under replicated blocks but it works very slowly. HDFS performs the replication about 1 block per second.

I have about 400000 under replicated blocks so it will take about 4 more days. Is there any way to speed it up?

You can set the below properties to speed up replication

dfs.balance.bandwidthPerSec 131072000
dfs.max-repl-streams        50

I have set all the nodes.
However, nodes 500M / s of speed occurs.

Can anyone provide me steps to grant a particular user access equivalnent to that of "hdfs" user in hadoop.

The reason behind this is I want to have my custom user who can create anything on the entire hdfs file system (/).
I tried couple of links however, none of them were useful. Is there any way by adding/modifying some property tags I can do that ?

Can the blocks be broken in HDFS file system?

If there are 10 HDFS blocks to be copied from one machine to another. However, the other machine can copy only 7.5 blocks, is there a possibility for the blocks to be broken down during the time of replication?

How to get info about which data in hdfs or file system that a MapReduce job visits?

I was trying to implement a Hadoop/Spark audit tool, but l met a problem that I can't get the input file location and file name. I can get username, IP address, time, user command, all of these info from hdfs-audit.log. But When I submit a MapReduce job, I can't see input file location neither in Hadoop logs or Hadoop ResourceManager.

Does hadoop have API or log that contains these info through some configuration ?If it have, what should I configure?
