hdfs dfsadmin -report VS hdfs fsck /

hello,

I'm getting a warning regarding some corrupt blocks replicas when using ambari or hdfs dfsadmin -report commands

$ hdfs dfsadmin -report
Configured Capacity: 89582347079680 (81.47 TB)
Present Capacity: 84363014526231 (76.73 TB)

DFS Used%: 44.97%
Under replicated blocks: 0
Blocks with corrupt replicas: 8
Missing blocks: 0
Missing blocks (with replication factor 1): 0

But when I'm trying to locate them using hdfs fsck / command, it doesn't find anything wrong.

The filesystem under path '/' is HEALTHY

How can I find thoses corrupted replicas and fix them ?

The namenode also tell me that it's ok but I've already encountered some issue when using spark jobs dealing with those files.

2018-06-13 16:30:25,870 INFO  blockmanagement.BlockManager (BlockManager.java:computeReplicationWorkForBlocks(1660)) - Blocks chosen but could not be replicated = 8; of which 0 have no target, 0 have no source, 0 are UC, 0 are abandoned, 8 already have enough replicas.

BR,

@olivier brobecker

Have you tried using the below snippet? Look through the output for missing or corrupt blocks (ignore under-replicated blocks for now)

$ hdfs fsck / | egrep -v '^\.+$' | grep -v replica

Once you find a file that is corrupt

$ hdfs fsck /path/to/corrupt/file -locations -blocks -files

Yes, already tried that but with no results.

After some time, the hadoop process ends up by correctif the issue by itself but I'm trying to understand where is the difference between the two commands, they should return the same diagnosis.

BR,
