Hi All,

I have a cluster with namenode HA on aws instances (Instance store disks). Each namenode got 12 mount points and metadata in that. And we got 4 datanodes. My standby namenode got hung due to hardware issue on aws end. We have to stop and start the instance. As this is the only solution we have done that and able to bring other services on standby namenode except namenode service because all 12 mounts dont have any metadata information. what i have done is i have tarred & restored the hadoop dir from each mount on Active working namenode to all mounts on the standby namenode. Now i'm able to start the namenode service and it became standby namenode automatically using ZKFC. But in hadoop-hdfs-namenode-<hostname>.log file im getting the below error. How to fix it and is there any harm due to this? Whether my active namenode can successfully failover to this node? Kindly help and give your suggestion to fix this.

NN1 - Standby namenode (which got issue and have to stop and start)

NN2 - active

DN1

DN2

DN3

DN4

(have remove IP and put above naming conventions in the log below)

Hello @Muthukumar S!
Hm, I got curious in your case 🙂
Could you check if:

  1. Is there any client trying to point to the old SN? E.g. hdfs dfs -put hdfs://SN...
  2. Could you check if your dfs.nameservices at hdfs-site.xml and fs.defaultFS at core-site.xml are okay?

And also, I've noted that after the

  1. 2018-08-1515:04:14,335 INFO ha.EditLogTailer(EditLogTailer.java:doTailEdits(238))-Loaded104 edits starting from txid 211034588

You started to face warning messages, we may need to check if both Active and StandBy have the same edits/fsimage. So, try to run a ls -R under the namonode directory in your linux fs. And check if it's missing a file or if the sizes are quite different.

And please, let me know which version are you running. And if it's possible, try to enable the DEBUG log for the SN node.

Hope this helps!

@Vinicius Higa Murakami

Thank you for the reply. Please find below information regarding your queries.

1. I tried below commands from NN1 (rebooted one)

hdfs dfs -ls hdfs://NN2/user/ --> able get the outputs

hdfs dfs -ls hdfs://NN1/user/ --> ERROR: ls: Operation category READ is not supported in state standby (is normal and expected?)

2. Yes both dfs.nameservices at hdfs-site.xml and fs.defaultFS are fine.

I verified fsiimage is happening on both namenodes and size are same with timestamp. But edits file are missing on NN1(standby)

from the time i have copied metadata files from NN2 and started the Namenode service. i,e From 14th Aug 17:39 onwards.

I will not be able to enable DEBUG log because i cannot restart hdfs services because continuously jobs are running. Cant offord downtime now. Also im afraid namenode services will comeup or not.

Below is snippet from both nodes with respect to number of files and size. Also latest fsiimage file.

Hi @Muthukumar S!

What happens if you run the following command? (*change the dfs.nameservices above for the respective value)

hdfs dfs -ls hdfs://<dfs.nameservices>/user

And also you can try to run the following command

hdfs namenode -recover

https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.7.1/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/HDFSCommands.html#namenode

Hope this helps
