Time for action – formatting the NameNode
Before starting Hadoop in either pseudo-distributed or fully distributed mode for the first time, we need to format the HDFS filesystem that it will use. Type the following:
$ hadoop namenode -format
The output of this should look like the following:
$ hadoop namenode -format 12/10/26 22:45:25 INFO namenode.NameNode: STARTUP_MSG: /************************************************************ STARTUP_MSG: Starting NameNode STARTUP_MSG: host = vm193/10.0.0.193 STARTUP_MSG: args = [-format] … 12/10/26 22:45:25 INFO namenode.FSNamesystem: fsOwner=hadoop,hadoop 12/10/26 22:45:25 INFO namenode.FSNamesystem: supergroup=supergroup 12/10/26 22:45:25 INFO namenode.FSNamesystem: isPermissionEnabled=true 12/10/26 22:45:25 INFO common.Storage: Image file of size 96 saved in 0 seconds. 12/10/26 22:45:25 INFO common.Storage: Storage directory /var/lib/hadoop-hadoop/dfs/name has been successfully formatted. 12/10/26 22:45:26 INFO namenode.NameNode: SHUTDOWN_MSG: /************************************************************ SHUTDOWN_MSG: Shutting down NameNode at vm193/10.0.0.193 $
What just happened?
This is not a very exciting output because the step is only an enabler for our future use of HDFS. However, it does help us think of HDFS as a filesystem; just like any new storage device on any operating system, we need to format the device before we can use it. The same is true for HDFS; initially there is a default location for the filesystem data but no actual data for the equivalents of filesystem indexes.
Note
Do this every time!
If your experience with Hadoop has been similar to the one I have had, there will be a series of simple mistakes that are frequently made when setting up new installations. It is very easy to forget about the formatting of the NameNode and then get a cascade of failure messages when the first Hadoop activity is tried.
But do it only once!
The command to format the NameNode can be executed multiple times, but in doing so all existing filesystem data will be destroyed. It can only be executed when the Hadoop cluster is shut down and sometimes you will want to do it but in most other cases it is a quick way to irrevocably delete every piece of data on HDFS; it does take much longer on large clusters. So be careful!
Starting and using Hadoop
After all that configuration and setup, let's now start our cluster and actually do something with it.
