Accumulo under-replication issue

[#1]

HDP 2.4 installed using Ambari 2.2.2.0.

This existing thread mentions clearly the under-replication issue that exists with Accumulo.

Accordingly, I executed several times the below command and also restarted the Accumulo service, the under-replicated blocks dropped to 0 momentarily, then again started to increase :

[hdfs@l4327pp root]$ hdfs dfs -setrep -w 3 /

[hdfs@l4327pp root]$ hdfs fsck /

I even tried to add an entry to the custom accumulo-site.xml and restarted the service but the issue persists :

[#2 · Accepted solution]

As described in the answer to this question: https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/35138/target-replicas-is-5-but-found-3-live-replicas.htm...

Start the accumulo shell on a host where the Accumulo client is installed and run the following:

config -t accumulo.root -s table.file.replication=3
config -t accumulo.metadata -s table.file.replication=3

You'll have to change these properties AND run the hdfs setrep command so that both new and existing files have their settings changed.

Accumulo(as always)gave a nasty surprise, was unable to log-in the shell using the credentials I provided during the installation, the tracer failed to start. As per this thread, I kept a simple text password and then executed the commands you provided
