Hello,

In my clutser (4nodes) I have some blocks that does not meet replication number. I do not fnd any issue.

About versions :

Clutser installed with ambari

HDP 2.3.2.0.2950

HDFS 2.7.1.2.3

Replication factor : 3

Here is the nodename log :

Any help will be appreciate ?

If you have 4 nodes he will not be able to replicate 8 copies.It looks like some tmp files from accumulo. While I do not know accumulo too well some small files like jars normally have a high replication level so they are locally available on most nodes.

You can check the filesystem with:

hadoop fsck / -files -blocks -locations

Normally programs honor a parameter called max replication which in your case should be 4 but it seems like accumulo doesnt always do that.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-683

Is this causing any problems? Or are you just worried about the errors in the logs.
