I'm trying to rebalance hdfs on my data nodes (CDH 5.9.1) after adding a disk. I've followed this blog post: https://blog.cloudera.com/blog/2016/10/how-to-use-the-new-hdfs-intra-datanode-disk-balancer-in-apach... and restarted the cluster. No matter how I format the host (FQDN, hostname only, IP) I always get this response:
[hdfs@ip-10-16-113-100 ~]$ hdfs diskbalancer -plan ip-10-16-113-100 17/09/15 17:34:27 ERROR tools.DiskBalancer: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
I see no other complaints that I can find, so I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any one gotten this to work that can give me some guidance?
Regards.

After some unknown period of time, the command began working. Current guess is that the system has to do a complete block report before the command becomes availible.

thanks that worked.
I have an 18 data nodes each capacity of 150 TB, current data storage of each DN is around 14TB whereas 1 DN is 4 TB.
I did disc balancing to equally distribute the data but it didn't help. I am thinking it depends on the math % of storage vs allocated.
is there a way i can distribute the data equally now?
