I am using cloudera 5.10.1

1 namenode

1 secondary namenode

2 data nodes

Replication Factor

dfs.replication

HDFS (Service-Wide)

can any help me why it is failing to replicate to 3.

Two DataNodes cannot carry 3 replicas as each replica must reside on a
unique DataNode host. Either add a third DataNode, or change the
replication factor to 2 to match your DataNode count.

hdfs fs -setrep -w 2 / is working ..

if i have 3 datanodes can i replicate to 4

Harsh J — Thu, 04 May 2017 06:26:40 GMT

The general rule is that N replicas require N DataNodes to be placed. So you cannot have 4 living replicas on a cluster of 3 DataNodes.

In such a case, you'd only observe 3 live replicas, and the block will be marked under-replicated (with target required as 4 but live possibility capping at 3), just like your previous situation. The file should still be readable/writable though.

i have added one node and tried hadoop fs -setrep -w 3 /

it is working.....

no under Replicas.......
