Datanode WRITE_BLOCK Error

avatar
Expert Contributor

Hi,

I have 3 node Cloudera 5.9 Cluster running on CentOS 6.7.

Recently during any write operation on Hadoop, I am witnessing these errors in Datanode logs. However the write happens but I am concerned why this is happening.

 

PFB the stack trace.

Can anyone please help me?

It is related to an JMX counter within the Datanode process.  I am not sure what it is counting but it something within it is throwing an NPE.  This is likely coming after the write stream has process all data but since it hits this exception it throws and exits.  It should be safe to ignore this error.

 

getDatanodeNetworkCounts

 A related JIRA although it doesn't seem to be part of CDH yet.

Ok @mbigelow thanks. I also reasearched more and found this hortonworks link, https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/45962/dataxceiver-error-processing-write-block-operation... where they say we can ignore this error. 

This issue has been already fixed in 2.3 version of ambari but of course I am using CDH.

 

Thanks,

Shilpa
