HDFS Configuration

Hi ,

 

In CDH 5.4 cluster what we installed here i have some concerns on hdfssite.xml.

 

dfs.datanode.data.dir

dfs.namenode.name.dir

 

Both these properties are missing in hdfs xml. What can be the issue if we dont have ,  i think all the data will be stored in temp directories.

 

Regards,

Moksha

Are you using Cloudera Manager? If so, these properties can be found in the "Configuration" page of the HDFS Service. Just search for these properties in the tab on the side.

 

Let me know which folder are you looking at? The current configurations for each service are usually stored in /var/run/cloudera-scm-agent/process/XYZ-NameOfTheService. But, it can be only changed through the CM UI.
