Configuring HDFS replication
For redundancy, it is important to have multiple copies of data. In HDFS, this is achieved by placing copies of blocks on different nodes. By default, the replication factor is 3, which means that for each block written to HDFS, there will be three copies in total on the nodes in the cluster.
It is important to make sure that the cluster is working fine and the user can perform file operations on the cluster.
Getting ready
Log in to any of the nodes in the cluster. It is best to use the edge node, as stated in Chapter 1, and switch to the user hadoop.
Create a simple text file named file1.txt using any of your favorite text editors, and write some content in it.
How to do it...
sshto the Namenode, which in this case isnn1.cluster1.com, and switch to userhadoop.- Navigate to the
/opt/cluster/hadoop/etc/hadoopdirectory. This is the directory where we installed Hadoop in Chapter 1, Hadoop Architecture and Deployment. If the user has installed it at a different location, then navigate to this directory. - Configure to the
dfs.replicationparameter in the directoryhdfs-site.xmlfile. - See the following screenshot for this configuration:
- Once the changes are made, save the file and make changes across all nodes in the cluster.
- Restart the Namenode and Datanode daemons across the cluster. The easiest way of doing this is using the
stop-dfs.shandstart-dfs.shcommands. - See the following screenshot, which shows the way to restart the daemons:
How it works...
The dfs.replication parameter is usually the same across the cluster, but it can be configured to be different across all nodes in the cluster. The source node from which the copy operation is done will define the replication factor for a file. For example, if an edge node has replication set to 2, then the blocks will be replicated twice, irrespective of the value on Namenode.
