I am running HDP-2.5.3.0, ambari 2.4.2.0 I have a cluster node/host that died over the weekend and I am not able to resurrect it Through ambari I am able to put it in maintenance mode.   I would like to delete this node from the cluster.  It's role was datanode and yarn Nodemanager. Went choosing the delete option for Host Actions I get a warning that the DataNode and Nodemanager should be decommissioned first to prevent loss but those options are not available via ambari.   Is there another option for decommissioning or is my only option to delete given the status of the node?  Thanks.  ...

I lost a drive on one of my data nodes that apparently stored some ambari-metrics collection stuff.

Rebooted my cluster last week and I am seeing unusually high CPU loads on 3 datanodes. Nothing changed, except the reboot. Load average being 120-150 with the others having a load of less than 5. Looking at top, it seems to be yarn java processes that are running. All nodes are running Java 1.7.0 Running HDP 2.5.3 ambari 2.4.2 37 datanodes all configured the same Dell R515 servers 2 8-core AMD CPU's RHEL 6 64-bit 256GB memory same hard drives The 3 nodes in question only differ by CPU. They are running AMD Opteron 4386 vs AMD Opteron 4284 on all the other datanodes. I have been running this cluster for over year with no problems. Any ideas as to why this is happening? I have looked at bios setting to see if I had some configured different but they are all the same ... View more

My cluster nodes have two versions on python installed. 2.6.6 in /usr/bin 2.7.12 in /usr/local/bin. I installed some python modules for the 2.7.12 version associated with geolocation. When I run a job locally on one of the nodes it runs fine. When it is submitted through yarn I get the following “ImportError: No module named ipaddress” ipaddress is one of the modules I installed. I suspect yarn is using the 2.6.6 version of python. How can I determine if this is the case and if it is how can I define yarn to use the python in /usr/local/bin? Thanks ... View more

Running Ambari 2.4.2 and HDP 2.5.3.0 It looks like my cluster is defined to use mysql for the hive metastore. The log file is being written to /var/run/mysqld and is 239GB and growing and is close to filling up the /var file system Can I delete or rotate out the log and do I need to shutdown hive to do this? Is there a way to reduce the level of logging or to automatically rotate this log? ... View more

running HDP 2.5.3 The root file system filled up on the node that runs hive metastore and hiveserver2. Both processes were stopped. I cleared up disk space but could not get either process to start hiveserver2 error yarn.exceptions.ApplicationNotFoundException: Application with id "application_1496410945618_25770" doesn't exist in RM hivemetastore error transport exception could not create ServerSocket I suspect it was a job that didn't finish or die cleanly because of the disk filling up. There were no jobs running in the yarn RM I tried stopping all the hive processes and restarting yarn and then start hive. Still had the same problem. I resorted to stopping all the services on the node where the disk filled up and bouncing the node. This fixed the problem as hiveserver2 and hive metastore now run. Any ideas of a better way to troubleshoot and resolve something like this? ... View more

HDP 2.5.3 37 datanodes I had 34 data nodes that are identical with regards to CPU,. memory, storage. I recently added 3 data nodes with the same CPU and memory but less storage (9TB as opposed to 11TB on the older nodes) I ran hdfs balancer, which chugged for a while and moved data to the 3 new nodes. Problem is, that 3 file systems on each of the 3 new nodes do not seem to be getting data. I have run the balancer from the CLI and the output states the cluster is balanced.The older nodes (with more storage) are at about 50% disk utilization, the 3 new nodes are at about 30% disk utilization ...
