what could be the cause for spark2-hdp-yarn-archive.tar.gz corruption

avatar

hi all,

we installed new hadoop cluster ( ambari + HDP version 2.6.4 )

after installation , we notice that we have problem with the spark-submit

and finally we found that spark2-hdp-yarn-archive.tar.gz file is corruption

full path - /hdp/apps/2.6.4.0-91/spark2/spark2-hdp-yarn-archive.tar.gz ( from HDFS )

my question is - what could be the reason that this is is corrupted ?

in spite this cluster is new fresh installation

As the file path which you shared is on HDFS : /hdp/apps/2.6.4.0-91/spark2/spark2-hdp-yarn-archive.tar.gz

To identify "corrupt" or "missing" blocks, the command-line command can be used to knwo whether it is healthy or not?

HDFS will attempt to recover the situation automatically. By default there are three replicas of any block in the cluster. so if HDFS detects that one replica of a block has become corrupt or damaged, HDFS will create a new replica of that block from a known-good replica, and will mark the damaged one for deletion.

The chances of three replicas of the same block becoming damaged is so remote that it would suggest a significant failure somewhere else in the cluster. If this situation does occur, and all three replicas are damaged, then 'hdfs fsck' will report that block as "corrupt" - i.e. HDFS cannot self-heal the block from any of its replicas.

@Jay , very nice solution

until now I was doing this , in ordeer to verify the file

gzip -t /var/tmp/spark2-hdp-yarn-archive.tar.gz
gunzip -c /var/tmp/spark2-hdp-yarn-archive.tar.gz | tar t > /dev/null
tar tzvf spark2-hdp-yarn-archive.tar.gz > /dev/null

@Jay . please let me know if I understand it as the following

let say that one of the replica spark2-hdp-yarn-archive.tar.gz , is corrupted

when I run this CLI su - hdfs -c "hdfs fsck /hdp/apps/2.6.4.0-91/spark2/spark2-hdp-yarn-archive.tar.gz"

dose its actually means that fsck will replace the bad one with the good one and status finally will be HEALTHY ?
