NameNode keeps going down

avatar

Hi all,

I am having a problem with the NameNode status ambari shows. The following points are verifiable in the system: - The NameNode keeps going down a few seconds after I start it through ambari (it looks like it never really goes up, but the start process run successfully);

- Despite being DOWN according to ambari, if I run JPS in the server the NameNode is hosted it shows that the service is running:

[hdfs@RHTPINEC008 ~]$ jps
39395 NameNode
4463 Jps

and I can access NameNode UI properly;

- I already restarted both the namenode and ambari-agent the manually but the behavior keeps the same;

- This problem started after some HBase/Phoenix heavy queries that caused the namenode to go down (not sure if this is actually related but the exact same configurations were working well before this episode);

- I've been digging for some hours and I am not being able to find error details in the namenode logs nor in the ambari-agent logs that allows me to understand the problem;

I am using hdp 2.4.0 and no HA options.

Can someone help in this?

Thanks in advance

Tha means the HDFS is down can you start it from Ambari UI or CLI?

@Geoffrey Shelton Okot I am able to start it from both , but status getting changed to "INSTALLED" immediately after startup, but in the server i am able to see name node and data node running, but ambari console shows down.

Can you check the /etc/hosts entries on all the nodes ? and do the following with the ambari-agents on the affected node move the move /var/lib/ambari-agent/data/structured-out-status.json to /tmp and restart the ambari-agent.

# ambari-agent restart

Do you see any error/exception in the /var/log/ambari-server/ambari-server.log?

since users are available in AD,do i need to map to local. could you please guide me here?
