- The first phase of - {{{https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2832}Heterogeneous Storage (HDFS-2832)}} - changed datanode storage model from a single storage, - which may correspond to multiple physical storage medias, - to a collection of storages with each storage corresponding to a physical storage media. - It also added the notion of storage types, DISK and SSD, - where DISK is the default storage type. - - A new storage type , - which has high storage density (petabyte of storage) but little compute power, - is added for supporting archival storage. - - Another new storage type is added for supporting writing single replica files in memory. - -** {Storage Policies: Hot, Warm, Cold, All_SSD, One_SSD and Lazy_Persist} - - A new concept of storage policies is introduced in order to allow files to be stored - in different storage types according to the storage policy. - - We have the following storage policies: - - * <> - for both storage and compute. - The data that is popular and still being used for processing will stay in this policy. - When a block is hot, all replicas are stored in DISK. - - * <> - only for storage with limited compute. - The data that is no longer being used, or data that needs to be archived is moved - from hot storage to cold storage. - When a block is cold, all replicas are stored in ARCHIVE. - - * <> - partially hot and partially cold. - When a block is warm, some of its replicas are stored in DISK - and the remaining replicas are stored in ARCHIVE. - - * <> - for storing all replicas in SSD. - - * <> - for storing one of the replicas in SSD. - The remaining replicas are stored in DISK. - - * <> - for writing blocks with single replica in memory. - The replica is first written in RAM_DISK and then it is lazily persisted in DISK. - - [] - - More formally, a storage policy consists of the following fields: - - [[1]] Policy ID - - [[2]] Policy name - - [[3]] A list of storage types for block placement - - [[4]] A list of fallback storage types for file creation - - [[5]] A list of fallback storage types for replication - - [] - - When there is enough space, - block replicas are stored according to the storage type list specified in #3. - When some of the storage types in list #3 are running out of space, - the fallback storage type lists specified in #4 and #5 are used - to replace the out-of-space storage types for file creation and replication, respectively. - - The following is a typical storage policy table. -

The NameNode will - communicate with DataNodes that have the desired blocks on disk, and instruct - them to cache the blocks in off-heap caches. - - Centralized cache management in HDFS has many significant advantages. - - [[1]] Explicit pinning prevents frequently used data from being evicted from - memory. This is particularly important when the size of the working set - exceeds the size of main memory, which is common for many HDFS workloads. - - [[1]] Because DataNode caches are managed by the NameNode, applications can - query the set of cached block locations when making task placement decisions. - Co-locating a task with a cached block replica improves read performance. - - [[1]] When block has been cached by a DataNode, clients can use a new , - more-efficient, zero-copy read API. Since checksum verification of cached - data is done once by the DataNode, clients can incur essentially zero - overhead when using this new API. - - [[1]] Centralized caching can improve overall cluster memory utilization. - When relying on the OS buffer cache at each DataNode, repeated reads of - a block will result in all replicas of the block being pulled into - buffer cache. With centralized cache management, a user can explicitly pin - only of the replicas, saving memory. - -* {Use Cases} - - Centralized cache management is useful for files that accessed repeatedly. - For example, a small in Hive which is often used for joins is a - good candidate for caching. On the other hand, caching the input of a < - one year reporting query> is probably less useful, since the - historical data might only be read once. - - Centralized cache management is also useful for mixed workloads with - performance SLAs. Caching the working set of a high-priority workload - insures that it does not contend for disk I/O with a low-priority workload. - -* {Architecture} - -[images/caching.png] Caching Architecture - - In this architecture, the NameNode is responsible for coordinating all the - DataNode off-heap caches in the cluster. The NameNode periodically receives - a from each DataNode which describes all the blocks cached - on a given DN. The NameNode manages DataNode caches by piggybacking cache and - uncache commands on the DataNode heartbeat. - - The NameNode queries its set of to determine - which paths should be cached. Cache directives are persistently stored in the - fsimage and edit log, and can be added, removed, and modified via Java and - command-line APIs. The NameNode also stores a set of , - which are administrative entities used to group cache directives together for - resource management and enforcing permissions. - - The NameNode periodically rescans the namespace and active cache directives - to determine which blocks need to be cached or uncached and assign caching - work to DataNodes. Rescans can also be triggered by user actions like adding - or removing a cache directive or removing a cache pool. - - We do not currently cache blocks which are under construction, corrupt, or - otherwise incomplete. If a cache directive covers a symlink, the symlink - target is not cached. - - Caching is currently done on the file or directory-level. Block and sub-block - caching is an item of future work. - -* {Concepts} - -** {Cache directive} - - A defines a path that should be cached. Paths can be either - directories or files. Directories are cached non-recursively, meaning only - files in the first-level listing of the directory. - - Directives also specify additional parameters, such as the cache replication - factor and expiration time. The replication factor specifies the number of - block replicas to cache. If multiple cache directives refer to the same file, - the maximum cache replication factor is applied. - - The expiration time is specified on the command line as a , a relative expiration time in the future. After a cache directive - expires, it is no longer considered by the NameNode when making caching - decisions. - -** {Cache pool} - - A is an administrative entity used to manage groups of cache - directives. Cache pools have UNIX-like , which restrict which - users and groups have access to the pool. Write permissions allow users to - add and remove cache directives to the pool. Read permissions allow users to - list the cache directives in a pool, as well as additional metadata. Execute - permissions are unused. - - Cache pools are also used for resource management. Pools can enforce a - maximum , which restricts the number of bytes that can be cached in - aggregate by directives in the pool. Normally, the sum of the pool limits - will approximately equal the amount of aggregate memory reserved for - HDFS caching on the cluster. Cache pools also track a number of statistics - to help cluster users determine what is and should be cached. - - Pools also can enforce a maximum time-to-live. This restricts the maximum - expiration time of directives being added to the pool. - -* {<<>> command-line interface} - - On the command-line, administrators and users can interact with cache pools - and directives via the <<>> subcommand. - - Cache directives are identified by a unique, non-repeating 64-bit integer ID. - IDs will not be reused even if a cache directive is later removed. - - Cache pools are identified by a unique string name. - -** {Cache directive commands} - -*** {addDirective} - - Usage: << -pool [-force] [-replication ] [-ttl ]>>> - - Add a new cache directive. - -*--+--+ -\ | A path to cache.

Unlike system-level inode metadata such as file permissions or modification time, extended attributes are not interpreted by the system and are instead used by applications to store additional information about an inode. Extended attributes could be used, for instance, to specify the character encoding of a plain-text document. - -** {HDFS extended attributes} - - Extended attributes in HDFS are modeled after extended attributes in Linux (see the Linux manpage for {{{http://www.bestbits.at/acl/man/man5/attr.txt}attr(5)}} and {{{http://www.bestbits.at/acl/}related documentation}}). An extended attribute is a , with a string name and binary value. Xattrs names must also be prefixed with a . For example, an xattr named in the namespace would be specified as <>. Multiple xattrs can be associated with a single inode. - -** {Namespaces and Permissions} - - In HDFS, there are five valid namespaces: <<>>, <<>>, <<>>, <<>>, and <<>>. Each of these namespaces have different access restrictions. - - The <<>> namespace is the namespace that will commonly be used by client applications. Access to extended attributes in the user namespace is controlled by the corresponding file permissions. - - The <<>> namespace is available only to HDFS superusers. - - The <<>> namespace is reserved for internal HDFS use. This namespace is not accessible through userspace methods, and is reserved for implementing internal HDFS features. - - The <<>> namespace is reserved for internal HDFS use. This namespace is generally not accessible through userspace methods. One particular use of <<>> is the <<>> extended attribute. This xattr can only be set on files, and it will prevent the superuser from reading the file's contents. The superuser can still read and modify file metadata, such as the owner, permissions, etc. This xattr can be set and accessed by any user, assuming normal filesystem permissions. This xattr is also write-once, and cannot be removed once set. This xattr does not allow a value to be set. - - The <<>> namespace is reserved for internal system attributes that sometimes need to be exposed. Like <<>> namespace attributes they are not visible to the user except when <<>>/<<>> is called on a file or directory in the <<>> HDFS directory hierarchy.

Different implementations - of this idea are available today. Hadoop's FI framework is built on top - of Aspect Oriented Paradigm (AOP) implemented by AspectJ toolkit. - -* Assumptions - - The current implementation of the FI framework assumes that the faults - it will be emulating are of non-deterministic nature. That is, the - moment of a fault's happening isn't known in advance and is a coin-flip - based. - -* Architecture of the Fault Injection Framework - - Components layout - -** Configuration Management - - This piece of the FI framework allows you to set expectations for - faults to happen. The settings can be applied either statically (in - advance) or in runtime. The desired level of faults in the framework - can be configured two ways: - - * editing src/aop/fi-site.xml configuration file. This file is - similar to other Hadoop's config files - - * setting system properties of JVM through VM startup parameters or - in build.properties file - -** Probability Model - - This is fundamentally a coin flipper. The methods of this class are - getting a random number between 0.0 and 1.0 and then checking if a new - number has happened in the range of 0.0 and a configured level for the - fault in question. If that condition is true then the fault will occur. - - Thus, to guarantee the happening of a fault one needs to set an - appropriate level to 1.0. To completely prevent a fault from happening - its probability level has to be set to 0.0. - - Note: The default probability level is set to 0 (zero) unless the level - is changed explicitly through the configuration file or in the runtime. - The name of the default level's configuration parameter is fi.* - -** Fault Injection Mechanism: AOP and AspectJ - - The foundation of Hadoop's FI framework includes a cross-cutting - concept implemented by AspectJ. The following basic terms are important - to remember: - - * A cross-cutting concept (aspect) is behavior, and often data, that - is used across the scope of a piece of software - - * In AOP, the aspects provide a mechanism by which a cross-cutting - concern can be specified in a modular way - - * Advice is the code that is executed when an aspect is invoked - - * Join point (or pointcut) is a specific point within the application - that may or not invoke some advice - -** Existing Join Points - - The following readily available join points are provided by AspectJ: - - * Join when a method is called - - * Join during a method's execution - - * Join when a constructor is invoked - - * Join during a constructor's execution - - * Join during aspect advice execution - - * Join before an object is initialized - - * Join during object initialization - - * Join during static initializer execution - - * Join when a class's field is referenced - - * Join when a class's field is assigned - - * Join when a handler is executed - -* Aspect Example - ----- - package org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.datanode; - - import org.apache.commons.logging.Log; - import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory; - import org.apache.hadoop.fi.ProbabilityModel; - import org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.datanode.DataNode; - import org.apache.hadoop.util.DiskChecker.*; - - import java.io.IOException; - import java.io.OutputStream; - import java.io.DataOutputStream; - - /** - * This aspect takes care about faults injected into datanode.BlockReceiver - * class - */ - public aspect BlockReceiverAspects { - public static final Log LOG = LogFactory.getLog(BlockReceiverAspects.class); - - public static final String BLOCK_RECEIVER_FAULT="hdfs.datanode.BlockReceiver"; - pointcut callReceivePacket() : call (* OutputStream.write(..)) - && withincode (* BlockReceiver.receivePacket(..)) - // to further limit the application of this aspect a very narrow 'target' can be used as follows - // && target(DataOutputStream) - && !within(BlockReceiverAspects +); - - before () throws IOException : callReceivePacket () { - if (ProbabilityModel.injectCriteria(BLOCK_RECEIVER_FAULT)) { - LOG.info("Before the injection point"); - Thread.dumpStack(); - throw new DiskOutOfSpaceException ("FI: injected fault point at " + - thisJoinPoint.getStaticPart( ).getSourceLocation()); - } - } - } ----- - - The aspect has two main parts: - - * The join point pointcut callReceivepacket() which servers as an - identification mark of a specific point (in control and/or data - flow) in the life of an application. - - * A call to the advice - before () throws IOException : - callReceivepacket() - will be injected (see Putting It All - Together) before that specific spot of the application's code. - - The pointcut identifies an invocation of class' java.io.OutputStream - write() method with any number of parameters and any return type. This - invoke should take place within the body of method receivepacket() from - classBlockReceiver. The method can have any parameters and any return - type. Possible invocations of write() method happening anywhere within - the aspect BlockReceiverAspects or its heirs will be ignored. - - Note 1: This short example doesn't illustrate the fact that you can - have more than a single injection point per class. In such a case the - names of the faults have to be different if a developer wants to - trigger them separately. - - Note 2: After the injection step (see Putting It All Together) you can - verify that the faults were properly injected by searching for ajc - keywords in a disassembled class file. - -* Fault Naming Convention and Namespaces - - For the sake of a unified naming convention the following two types of - names are recommended for a new aspects development: - - * Activity specific notation (when we don't care about a particular - location of a fault's happening). In this case the name of the - fault is rather abstract: fi.hdfs.DiskError - - * Location specific notation. Here, the fault's name is mnemonic as - in: fi.hdfs.datanode.BlockReceiver[optional location details] - -* Development Tools - - * The Eclipse AspectJ Development Toolkit may help you when - developing aspects - - * IntelliJ IDEA provides AspectJ weaver and Spring-AOP plugins - -* Putting It All Together - - Faults (aspects) have to injected (or woven) together before they can - be used. Follow these instructions: - * To weave aspects in place use: - ----- - % ant injectfaults ----- - - * If you misidentified the join point of your aspect you will see a - warning (similar to the one shown here) when 'injectfaults' target - is completed: - ----- - [iajc] warning at - src/test/aop/org/apache/hadoop/hdfs/server/datanode/ \ - BlockReceiverAspects.aj:44::0 - advice defined in org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.datanode.BlockReceiverAspects - has not been applied [Xlint:adviceDidNotMatch] ----- - - * It isn't an error, so the build will report the successful result. - To prepare dev.jar file with all your faults weaved in place - (HDFS-475 pending) use: - ----- - % ant jar-fault-inject ----- - - * To create test jars use: - ----- - % ant jar-test-fault-inject ----- - - * To run HDFS tests with faults injected use: - ----- - % ant run-test-hdfs-fault-inject ----- - -** How to Use the Fault Injection Framework - - Faults can be triggered as follows: - - * During runtime: - ----- - % ant run-test-hdfs -Dfi.hdfs.datanode.BlockReceiver=0.12 ----- - - To set a certain level, for example 25%, of all injected faults - use: - ----- - % ant run-test-hdfs-fault-inject -Dfi.*=0.25 ----- - - * From a program: - ----- - package org.apache.hadoop.fs; - - import org.junit.Test; - import org.junit.Before; - - public class DemoFiTest { - public static final String BLOCK_RECEIVER_FAULT="hdfs.datanode.BlockReceiver"; - @Override - @Before - public void setUp() { - //Setting up the test's environment as required - } - - @Test - public void testFI() { - // It triggers the fault, assuming that there's one called 'hdfs.datanode.BlockReceiver' - System.setProperty("fi." + BLOCK_RECEIVER_FAULT, "0.12"); - // - // The main logic of your tests goes here - // - // Now set the level back to 0 (zero) to prevent this fault from happening again - System.setProperty("fi." + BLOCK_RECEIVER_FAULT, "0.0"); - // or delete its trigger completely - System.getProperties().remove("fi." + BLOCK_RECEIVER_FAULT); - } - - @Override - @After - public void tearDown() { - //Cleaning up test test environment - } - } ----- - - As you can see above these two methods do the same thing.

In that configuration, a single Namenode manages the - namespace. HDFS Federation addresses this limitation by adding - support for multiple Namenodes/namespaces to HDFS. - -* {Multiple Namenodes/Namespaces} - - In order to scale the name service horizontally, federation uses multiple - independent Namenodes/namespaces. The Namenodes are federated; the - Namenodes are independent and do not require coordination with each other. - The Datanodes are used as common storage for blocks by all the Namenodes. - Each Datanode registers with all the Namenodes in the cluster. Datanodes - send periodic heartbeats and block reports. They also handle - commands from the Namenodes. - - Users may use {{{./ViewFs.html}ViewFs}} to create personalized namespace views. - ViewFs is analogous to client side mount tables in some Unix/Linux systems. - -[./images/federation.gif] HDFS Federation Architecture - - - <> - - A Block Pool is a set of blocks that belong to a single namespace. - Datanodes store blocks for all the block pools in the cluster. Each - Block Pool is managed independently. This allows a namespace to - generate Block IDs for new blocks without the need for coordination - with the other namespaces. A Namenode failure does not prevent the - Datanode from serving other Namenodes in the cluster. - - A Namespace and its block pool together are called Namespace Volume. - It is a self-contained unit of management. When a Namenode/namespace - is deleted, the corresponding block pool at the Datanodes is deleted. - Each namespace volume is upgraded as a unit, during cluster upgrade. - - <> - - A <> identifier is used to identify all the nodes in the - cluster. When a Namenode is formatted, this identifier is either - provided or auto generated. This ID should be used for formatting - the other Namenodes into the cluster. - -** Key Benefits - - * Namespace Scalability - Federation adds namespace horizontal - scaling. Large deployments or deployments using lot of small files - benefit from namespace scaling by allowing more Namenodes to be - added to the cluster. - - * Performance - File system throughput is not limited by a single - Namenode. Adding more Namenodes to the cluster scales the file - system read/write throughput. - - * Isolation - A single Namenode offers no isolation in a multi user - environment. For example, an experimental application can overload - the Namenode and slow down production critical applications. By using - multiple Namenodes, different categories of applications and users - can be isolated to different namespaces. - -* {Federation Configuration} - - Federation configuration is <> and allows - existing single Namenode configurations to work without any - change. The new configuration is designed such that all the nodes in - the cluster have the same configuration without the need for - deploying different configurations based on the type of the node in - the cluster. - - Federation adds a new <<>> abstraction. A Namenode - and its corresponding secondary/backup/checkpointer nodes all belong - to a NameServiceId. In order to support a single configuration file, - the Namenode and secondary/backup/checkpointer configuration - parameters are suffixed with the <<>>. - - -** Configuration: - - <>: Add the <<>> parameter to your - configuration and configure it with a list of comma separated - NameServiceIDs. This will be used by the Datanodes to determine the - Namenodes in the cluster. - - <>: For each Namenode and Secondary Namenode/BackupNode/Checkpointer - add the following configuration parameters suffixed with the corresponding - <<>> into the common configuration file: - -*---------------------+--------------------------------------------+ -|| Daemon || Configuration Parameter | -*---------------------+--------------------------------------------+ -| Namenode | <<>> | -| | <<>> | -| | <<>> | -| | <<>> | -| | <<>> | -| | <<>> | -| | <<>> | -| | <<>> | -| | <<>> | -*---------------------+--------------------------------------------+ -| Secondary Namenode | <<>> | -| | <<>> | -*---------------------+--------------------------------------------+ -| BackupNode | <<>> | -| | <<>> | -*---------------------+--------------------------------------------+ - - Here is an example configuration with two Namenodes: - ----- - - - dfs.nameservices - ns1,ns2 - - - dfs.namenode.rpc-address.ns1 - nn-host1:rpc-port - - - dfs.namenode.http-address.ns1 - nn-host1:http-port - - - dfs.namenode.secondaryhttp-address.ns1 - snn-host1:http-port - - - dfs.namenode.rpc-address.ns2 - nn-host2:rpc-port - - - dfs.namenode.http-address.ns2 - nn-host2:http-port - - - dfs.namenode.secondaryhttp-address.ns2 - snn-host2:http-port - - - ....

If they are different, the additional Namenodes - will not be part of the federated cluster. - -** Upgrading from an older release and configuring federation - - Older releases only support a single Namenode. - Upgrade the cluster to newer release in order to enable federation - During upgrade you can provide a ClusterID as follows: - ----- -[hdfs]$ $HADOOP_PREFIX/bin/hdfs --daemon start namenode -upgrade -clusterId ----- - If cluster_id is not provided, it is auto generated. - -** Adding a new Namenode to an existing HDFS cluster - - Perform the following steps: - - * Add <<>> to the configuration. - - * Update the configuration with the NameServiceID suffix. Configuration - key names changed post release 0.20. You must use the new configuration - parameter names in order to use federation. - - * Add the new Namenode related config to the configuration file. - - * Propagate the configuration file to the all the nodes in the cluster. - - * Start the new Namenode and Secondary/Backup. - - * Refresh the Datanodes to pickup the newly added Namenode by running - the following command against all the Datanodes in the cluster: - ----- -[hdfs]$ $HADOOP_PREFIX/bin/hdfs dfsadmin -refreshNameNode : ----- - -* {Managing the cluster} - -** Starting and stopping cluster - - To start the cluster run the following command: - ----- -[hdfs]$ $HADOOP_PREFIX/sbin/start-dfs.sh ----- - - To stop the cluster run the following command: - ----- -[hdfs]$ $HADOOP_PREFIX/sbin/stop-dfs.sh ----- - - These commands can be run from any node where the HDFS configuration is - available. The command uses the configuration to determine the Namenodes - in the cluster and then starts the Namenode process on those nodes. The - Datanodes are started on the nodes specified in the <<>> file. The - script can be used as a reference for building your own scripts to - start and stop the cluster. - -** Balancer - - The Balancer has been changed to work with multiple - Namenodes. The Balancer can be run using the command: - ----- -[hdfs]$ $HADOOP_PREFIX/bin/hdfs --daemon start balancer [-policy ] ----- - - The policy parameter can be any of the following: - - * <<>> - this is the policy. This balances the storage at - the Datanode level. This is similar to balancing policy from prior releases. - - * <<>> - this balances the storage at the block pool - level which also balances at the Datanode level. - - Note that Balancer only balances the data and does not balance the namespace. - For the complete command usage, see {{{../hadoop-common/CommandsManual.html#balancer}balancer}}. - -** Decommissioning - - Decommissioning is similar to prior releases. The nodes that need to be - decomissioned are added to the exclude file at all of the Namenodes. Each - Namenode decommissions its Block Pool. When all the Namenodes finish - decommissioning a Datanode, the Datanode is considered decommissioned. - - <>: To distribute an exclude file to all the Namenodes, use the - following command: - ----- -[hdfs]$ $HADOOP_PREFIX/sbin/distribute-exclude.sh ----- - - <>: Refresh all the Namenodes to pick up the new exclude file: - ----- -[hdfs]$ $HADOOP_PREFIX/sbin/refresh-namenodes.sh ----- - - The above command uses HDFS configuration to determine the - configured Namenodes in the cluster and refreshes them to pick up - the new exclude file. - -** Cluster Web Console - - Similar to the Namenode status web page, when using federation a - Cluster Web Console is available to monitor the federated cluster at - <</dfsclusterhealth.jsp>>>. - Any Namenode in the cluster can be used to access this web page. - - The Cluster Web Console provides the following information: - - * A cluster summary that shows the number of files, number of blocks, - total configured storage capacity, and the available and used storage - for the entire cluster. - - * A list of Namenodes and a summary that includes the number of files, - blocks, missing blocks, and live and dead data nodes for each - Namenode.

Please refer to the - HDFS Architecture guide for details. - -* {Note: Using the Quorum Journal Manager or Conventional Shared Storage} - - This guide discusses how to configure and use HDFS HA using a shared NFS - directory to share edit logs between the Active and Standby NameNodes. For - information on how to configure HDFS HA using the Quorum Journal Manager - instead of NFS, please see {{{./HDFSHighAvailabilityWithQJM.html}this - alternative guide.}} - -* {Background} - - Prior to Hadoop 2.0.0, the NameNode was a single point of failure (SPOF) in - an HDFS cluster. Each cluster had a single NameNode, and if that machine or - process became unavailable, the cluster as a whole would be unavailable - until the NameNode was either restarted or brought up on a separate machine. - - This impacted the total availability of the HDFS cluster in two major ways: - - * In the case of an unplanned event such as a machine crash, the cluster would - be unavailable until an operator restarted the NameNode. - - * Planned maintenance events such as software or hardware upgrades on the - NameNode machine would result in windows of cluster downtime. - - The HDFS High Availability feature addresses the above problems by providing - the option of running two redundant NameNodes in the same cluster in an - Active/Passive configuration with a hot standby. This allows a fast failover to - a new NameNode in the case that a machine crashes, or a graceful - administrator-initiated failover for the purpose of planned maintenance. - -* {Architecture} - - In a typical HA cluster, two separate machines are configured as NameNodes. - At any point in time, exactly one of the NameNodes is in an state, - and the other is in a state. The Active NameNode is responsible - for all client operations in the cluster, while the Standby is simply acting - as a slave, maintaining enough state to provide a fast failover if - necessary. - - In order for the Standby node to keep its state synchronized with the Active - node, the current implementation requires that the two nodes both have access - to a directory on a shared storage device (eg an NFS mount from a NAS). This - restriction will likely be relaxed in future versions. - - When any namespace modification is performed by the Active node, it durably - logs a record of the modification to an edit log file stored in the shared - directory. The Standby node is constantly watching this directory for edits, - and as it sees the edits, it applies them to its own namespace. In the event of - a failover, the Standby will ensure that it has read all of the edits from the - shared storage before promoting itself to the Active state. This ensures that - the namespace state is fully synchronized before a failover occurs. - - In order to provide a fast failover, it is also necessary that the Standby node - have up-to-date information regarding the location of blocks in the cluster. - In order to achieve this, the DataNodes are configured with the location of - both NameNodes, and send block location information and heartbeats to both. - - It is vital for the correct operation of an HA cluster that only one of the - NameNodes be Active at a time. Otherwise, the namespace state would quickly - diverge between the two, risking data loss or other incorrect results. In - order to ensure this property and prevent the so-called "split-brain scenario," - the administrator must configure at least one for the shared - storage. During a failover, if it cannot be verified that the previous Active - node has relinquished its Active state, the fencing process is responsible for - cutting off the previous Active's access to the shared edits storage. This - prevents it from making any further edits to the namespace, allowing the new - Active to safely proceed with failover. - -* {Hardware resources} - - In order to deploy an HA cluster, you should prepare the following: - - * <> - the machines on which you run the Active and - Standby NameNodes should have equivalent hardware to each other, and - equivalent hardware to what would be used in a non-HA cluster. - - * <> - you will need to have a shared directory which both - NameNode machines can have read/write access to. Typically this is a remote - filer which supports NFS and is mounted on each of the NameNode machines. - Currently only a single shared edits directory is supported. Thus, the - availability of the system is limited by the availability of this shared edits - directory, and therefore in order to remove all single points of failure there - needs to be redundancy for the shared edits directory. Specifically, multiple - network paths to the storage, and redundancy in the storage itself (disk, - network, and power). Beacuse of this, it is recommended that the shared storage - server be a high-quality dedicated NAS appliance rather than a simple Linux - server. - - Note that, in an HA cluster, the Standby NameNode also performs checkpoints of - the namespace state, and thus it is not necessary to run a Secondary NameNode, - CheckpointNode, or BackupNode in an HA cluster. In fact, to do so would be an - error. This also allows one who is reconfiguring a non-HA-enabled HDFS cluster - to be HA-enabled to reuse the hardware which they had previously dedicated to - the Secondary NameNode. - -* {Deployment} - -** Configuration overview - - Similar to Federation configuration, HA configuration is backward compatible - and allows existing single NameNode configurations to work without change. - The new configuration is designed such that all the nodes in the cluster may - have the same configuration without the need for deploying different - configuration files to different machines based on the type of the node. - - Like HDFS Federation, HA clusters reuse the <<>> to identify a - single HDFS instance that may in fact consist of multiple HA NameNodes. In - addition, a new abstraction called <<>> is added with HA. Each - distinct NameNode in the cluster has a different NameNode ID to distinguish it. - To support a single configuration file for all of the NameNodes, the relevant - configuration parameters are suffixed with the <> as well as - the <>. - -** Configuration details - - To configure HA NameNodes, you must add several configuration options to your - <> configuration file. - - The order in which you set these configurations is unimportant, but the values - you choose for <> and - <> will determine the keys of those that - follow. Thus, you should decide on these values before setting the rest of the - configuration options. - - * <> - the logical name for this new nameservice - - Choose a logical name for this nameservice, for example "mycluster", and use - this logical name for the value of this config option. The name you choose is - arbitrary. It will be used both for configuration and as the authority - component of absolute HDFS paths in the cluster. - - <> If you are also using HDFS Federation, this configuration setting - should also include the list of other nameservices, HA or otherwise, as a - comma-separated list. - ----- - - dfs.nameservices - mycluster - ----- - - * <> - unique identifiers for each NameNode in the nameservice - - Configure with a list of comma-separated NameNode IDs. This will be used by - DataNodes to determine all the NameNodes in the cluster. For example, if you - used "mycluster" as the nameservice ID previously, and you wanted to use "nn1" - and "nn2" as the individual IDs of the NameNodes, you would configure this as - such: - ----- - - dfs.ha.namenodes.mycluster - nn1,nn2 - ----- - - <> Currently, only a maximum of two NameNodes may be configured per - nameservice. - - * <> - the fully-qualified RPC address for each NameNode to listen on - - For both of the previously-configured NameNode IDs, set the full address and - IPC port of the NameNode processs. Note that this results in two separate - configuration options. For example: - ----- - - dfs.namenode.rpc-address.mycluster.nn1 - machine1.example.com:8020 - - - dfs.namenode.rpc-address.mycluster.nn2 - machine2.example.com:8020 - ----- - - <> You may similarly configure the "<>" setting if - you so desire. - - * <> - the fully-qualified HTTP address for each NameNode to listen on - - Similarly to above, set the addresses for both NameNodes' HTTP - servers to listen on. For example: - ----- - - dfs.namenode.http-address.mycluster.nn1 - machine1.example.com:50070 - - - dfs.namenode.http-address.mycluster.nn2 - machine2.example.com:50070 - ----- - - <> If you have Hadoop's security features enabled, you should also set - the similarly for each NameNode. - - * <> - the location of the shared storage directory - - This is where one configures the path to the remote shared edits directory - which the Standby NameNode uses to stay up-to-date with all the file system - changes the Active NameNode makes. <> This directory should be mounted r/w on both NameNode machines. - The value of this setting should be the absolute path to this directory on the - NameNode machines. For example: - ----- - - dfs.namenode.shared.edits.dir - file:///mnt/filer1/dfs/ha-name-dir-shared - ----- - - * <> - the Java class that HDFS clients use to contact the Active NameNode - - Configure the name of the Java class which will be used by the DFS Client to - determine which NameNode is the current Active, and therefore which NameNode is - currently serving client requests. The only implementation which currently - ships with Hadoop is the <>, so use this - unless you are using a custom one. For example: - ----- - - dfs.client.failover.proxy.provider.mycluster - org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.ha.ConfiguredFailoverProxyProvider - ----- - - * <> - a list of scripts or Java classes which will be used to fence the Active NameNode during a failover - - It is critical for correctness of the system that only one NameNode be in the - Active state at any given time. Thus, during a failover, we first ensure that - the Active NameNode is either in the Standby state, or the process has - terminated, before transitioning the other NameNode to the Active state. In - order to do this, you must configure at least one <> These are - configured as a carriage-return-separated list, which will be attempted in order - until one indicates that fencing has succeeded. There are two methods which - ship with Hadoop: and . For information on implementing - your own custom fencing method, see the class. - - * <> - SSH to the Active NameNode and kill the process - - The option SSHes to the target node and uses to kill the - process listening on the service's TCP port. In order for this fencing option - to work, it must be able to SSH to the target node without providing a - passphrase. Thus, one must also configure the - <> option, which is a - comma-separated list of SSH private key files. For example: - ---- - - dfs.ha.fencing.methods - sshfence - - - - dfs.ha.fencing.ssh.private-key-files - /home/exampleuser/.ssh/id_rsa - ---- - - Optionally, one may configure a non-standard username or port to perform the - SSH. One may also configure a timeout, in milliseconds, for the SSH, after - which this fencing method will be considered to have failed. It may be - configured like so: - ---- - - dfs.ha.fencing.methods - sshfence([[username][:port]]) - - - dfs.ha.fencing.ssh.connect-timeout - 30000 - ---- - - * <> - run an arbitrary shell command to fence the Active NameNode - - The fencing method runs an arbitrary shell command. It may be - configured like so: - ---- - - dfs.ha.fencing.methods - shell(/path/to/my/script.sh arg1 arg2 ...) - ---- - - The string between '(' and ')' is passed directly to a bash shell and may not - include any closing parentheses. - - The shell command will be run with an environment set up to contain all of the - current Hadoop configuration variables, with the '_' character replacing any - '.' characters in the configuration keys. The configuration used has already had - any namenode-specific configurations promoted to their generic forms -- for example - <> will contain the RPC address of the target node, even - though the configuration may specify that variable as - <>. - - Additionally, the following variables referring to the target node to be fenced - are also available: - -*-----------------------:-----------------------------------+ -| $target_host | hostname of the node to be fenced | -*-----------------------:-----------------------------------+ -| $target_port | IPC port of the node to be fenced | -*-----------------------:-----------------------------------+ -| $target_address | the above two, combined as host:port | -*-----------------------:-----------------------------------+ -| $target_nameserviceid | the nameservice ID of the NN to be fenced | -*-----------------------:-----------------------------------+ -| $target_namenodeid | the namenode ID of the NN to be fenced | -*-----------------------:-----------------------------------+ - - These environment variables may also be used as substitutions in the shell - command itself. For example: - ---- - - dfs.ha.fencing.methods - shell(/path/to/my/script.sh --nameservice=$target_nameserviceid $target_host:$target_port) - ---- - - If the shell command returns an exit - code of 0, the fencing is determined to be successful. If it returns any other - exit code, the fencing was not successful and the next fencing method in the - list will be attempted. - - <> This fencing method does not implement any timeout. If timeouts are - necessary, they should be implemented in the shell script itself (eg by forking - a subshell to kill its parent in some number of seconds). - - * <> - the default path prefix used by the Hadoop FS client when none is given - - Optionally, you may now configure the default path for Hadoop clients to use - the new HA-enabled logical URI. If you used "mycluster" as the nameservice ID - earlier, this will be the value of the authority portion of all of your HDFS - paths. This may be configured like so, in your <> file: - ---- - - fs.defaultFS - hdfs://mycluster - ---- - -** Deployment details - - After all of the necessary configuration options have been set, one must - initially synchronize the two HA NameNodes' on-disk metadata. - - * If you are setting up a fresh HDFS cluster, you should first run the format - command () on one of NameNodes. - - * If you have already formatted the NameNode, or are converting a - non-HA-enabled cluster to be HA-enabled, you should now copy over the - contents of your NameNode metadata directories to the other, unformatted - NameNode by running the command "" on the - unformatted NameNode. Running this command will also ensure that the shared - edits directory (as configured by <>) contains - sufficient edits transactions to be able to start both NameNodes. - - * If you are converting a non-HA NameNode to be HA, you should run the - command "", which will initialize the shared - edits directory with the edits data from the local NameNode edits directories. - - At this point you may start both of your HA NameNodes as you normally would - start a NameNode. - - You can visit each of the NameNodes' web pages separately by browsing to their - configured HTTP addresses. You should notice that next to the configured - address will be the HA state of the NameNode (either "standby" or "active".) - Whenever an HA NameNode starts, it is initially in the Standby state. - -** Administrative commands - - Now that your HA NameNodes are configured and started, you will have access - to some additional commands to administer your HA HDFS cluster. Specifically, - you should familiarize yourself with all of the subcommands of the "" command. Running this command without any additional arguments will - display the following usage information: - ---- -Usage: DFSHAAdmin [-ns ] - [-transitionToActive ] - [-transitionToStandby ] - [-failover [--forcefence] [--forceactive] ] - [-getServiceState ] - [-checkHealth ] - [-help ] ---- - - This guide describes high-level uses of each of these subcommands. For - specific usage information of each subcommand, you should run ">". - - * <> and <> - transition the state of the given NameNode to Active or Standby - - These subcommands cause a given NameNode to transition to the Active or Standby - state, respectively. <> Instead, one should almost always prefer to - use the "" subcommand. - - * <> - initiate a failover between two NameNodes - - This subcommand causes a failover from the first provided NameNode to the - second. If the first NameNode is in the Standby state, this command simply - transitions the second to the Active state without error. If the first NameNode - is in the Active state, an attempt will be made to gracefully transition it to - the Standby state. If this fails, the fencing methods (as configured by - <>) will be attempted in order until one - succeeds. Only after this process will the second NameNode be transitioned to - the Active state. If no fencing method succeeds, the second NameNode will not - be transitioned to the Active state, and an error will be returned. - - * <> - determine whether the given NameNode is Active or Standby - - Connect to the provided NameNode to determine its current state, printing - either "standby" or "active" to STDOUT appropriately. This subcommand might be - used by cron jobs or monitoring scripts which need to behave differently based - on whether the NameNode is currently Active or Standby. - - * <> - check the health of the given NameNode - - Connect to the provided NameNode to check its health. The NameNode is capable - of performing some diagnostics on itself, including checking if internal - services are running as expected. This command will return 0 if the NameNode is - healthy, non-zero otherwise. One might use this command for monitoring - purposes. - - <> This is not yet implemented, and at present will always return - success, unless the given NameNode is completely down. - -* {Automatic Failover} - -** Introduction - - The above sections describe how to configure manual failover. In that mode, - the system will not automatically trigger a failover from the active to the - standby NameNode, even if the active node has failed. This section describes - how to configure and deploy automatic failover. - -** Components - - Automatic failover adds two new components to an HDFS deployment: a ZooKeeper - quorum, and the ZKFailoverController process (abbreviated as ZKFC). - - Apache ZooKeeper is a highly available service for maintaining small amounts - of coordination data, notifying clients of changes in that data, and - monitoring clients for failures. The implementation of automatic HDFS failover - relies on ZooKeeper for the following things: - - * <> - each of the NameNode machines in the cluster - maintains a persistent session in ZooKeeper. If the machine crashes, the - ZooKeeper session will expire, notifying the other NameNode that a failover - should be triggered. - - * <> - ZooKeeper provides a simple mechanism to - exclusively elect a node as active. If the current active NameNode crashes, - another node may take a special exclusive lock in ZooKeeper indicating that - it should become the next active. - - The ZKFailoverController (ZKFC) is a new component which is a ZooKeeper client - which also monitors and manages the state of the NameNode. Each of the - machines which runs a NameNode also runs a ZKFC, and that ZKFC is responsible - for: - - * <> - the ZKFC pings its local NameNode on a periodic - basis with a health-check command. So long as the NameNode responds in a - timely fashion with a healthy status, the ZKFC considers the node - healthy. If the node has crashed, frozen, or otherwise entered an unhealthy - state, the health monitor will mark it as unhealthy. - - * <> - when the local NameNode is healthy, the - ZKFC holds a session open in ZooKeeper. If the local NameNode is active, it - also holds a special "lock" znode. This lock uses ZooKeeper's support for - "ephemeral" nodes; if the session expires, the lock node will be - automatically deleted. - - * <> - if the local NameNode is healthy, and the - ZKFC sees that no other node currently holds the lock znode, it will itself - try to acquire the lock. If it succeeds, then it has "won the election", and - is responsible for running a failover to make its local NameNode active. The - failover process is similar to the manual failover described above: first, - the previous active is fenced if necessary, and then the local NameNode - transitions to active state. - - For more details on the design of automatic failover, refer to the design - document attached to HDFS-2185 on the Apache HDFS JIRA. - -** Deploying ZooKeeper - - In a typical deployment, ZooKeeper daemons are configured to run on three or - five nodes. Since ZooKeeper itself has light resource requirements, it is - acceptable to collocate the ZooKeeper nodes on the same hardware as the HDFS - NameNode and Standby Node. Many operators choose to deploy the third ZooKeeper - process on the same node as the YARN ResourceManager. It is advisable to - configure the ZooKeeper nodes to store their data on separate disk drives from - the HDFS metadata for best performance and isolation. - - The setup of ZooKeeper is out of scope for this document. We will assume that - you have set up a ZooKeeper cluster running on three or more nodes, and have - verified its correct operation by connecting using the ZK CLI. - -** Before you begin - - Before you begin configuring automatic failover, you should shut down your - cluster. It is not currently possible to transition from a manual failover - setup to an automatic failover setup while the cluster is running. - -** Configuring automatic failover - - The configuration of automatic failover requires the addition of two new - parameters to your configuration. In your <<>> file, add: - ----- - - dfs.ha.automatic-failover.enabled - true - ----- - - This specifies that the cluster should be set up for automatic failover. - In your <<>> file, add: - ----- - - ha.zookeeper.quorum - zk1.example.com:2181,zk2.example.com:2181,zk3.example.com:2181 - ----- - - This lists the host-port pairs running the ZooKeeper service. - - As with the parameters described earlier in the document, these settings may - be configured on a per-nameservice basis by suffixing the configuration key - with the nameservice ID. For example, in a cluster with federation enabled, - you can explicitly enable automatic failover for only one of the nameservices - by setting <<>>. - - There are also several other configuration parameters which may be set to - control the behavior of automatic failover; however, they are not necessary - for most installations. Please refer to the configuration key specific - documentation for details. - -** Initializing HA state in ZooKeeper - - After the configuration keys have been added, the next step is to initialize - required state in ZooKeeper. You can do so by running the following command - from one of the NameNode hosts. - ----- -[hdfs]$ $HADOOP_PREFIX/bin/zkfc -formatZK ----- - - This will create a znode in ZooKeeper inside of which the automatic failover - system stores its data. - -** Starting the cluster with <<>> - - Since automatic failover has been enabled in the configuration, the - <<>> script will now automatically start a ZKFC daemon on any - machine that runs a NameNode. When the ZKFCs start, they will automatically - select one of the NameNodes to become active. - -** Starting the cluster manually - - If you manually manage the services on your cluster, you will need to manually - start the <<>> daemon on each of the machines that runs a NameNode. You - can start the daemon by running: - ----- -[hdfs]$ $HADOOP_PREFIX/bin/hdfs --daemon start zkfc ----- - -** Securing access to ZooKeeper - - If you are running a secure cluster, you will likely want to ensure that the - information stored in ZooKeeper is also secured. This prevents malicious - clients from modifying the metadata in ZooKeeper or potentially triggering a - false failover. - - In order to secure the information in ZooKeeper, first add the following to - your <<>> file: - ----- - - ha.zookeeper.auth - @/path/to/zk-auth.txt - - - ha.zookeeper.acl - @/path/to/zk-acl.txt - ----- - - Please note the '@' character in these values -- this specifies that the - configurations are not inline, but rather point to a file on disk. - - The first configured file specifies a list of ZooKeeper authentications, in - the same format as used by the ZK CLI. For example, you may specify something - like: - ----- -digest:hdfs-zkfcs:mypassword ----- - ...where <<>> is a unique username for ZooKeeper, and - <<>> is some unique string used as a password. - - Next, generate a ZooKeeper ACL that corresponds to this authentication, using - a command like the following: - ----- -[hdfs]$ java -cp $ZK_HOME/lib/*:$ZK_HOME/zookeeper-3.4.2.jar org.apache.zookeeper.server.auth.DigestAuthenticationProvider hdfs-zkfcs:mypassword -output: hdfs-zkfcs:mypassword->hdfs-zkfcs:P/OQvnYyU/nF/mGYvB/xurX8dYs= ----- - - Copy and paste the section of this output after the '->' string into the file - <<>>, prefixed by the string "<<>>". For example: - ----- -digest:hdfs-zkfcs:vlUvLnd8MlacsE80rDuu6ONESbM=:rwcda ----- - - In order for these ACLs to take effect, you should then rerun the - <<>> command as described above. - - After doing so, you may verify the ACLs from the ZK CLI as follows: - ----- -[zk: localhost:2181(CONNECTED) 1] getAcl /hadoop-ha -'digest,'hdfs-zkfcs:vlUvLnd8MlacsE80rDuu6ONESbM= -: cdrwa ----- - -** Verifying automatic failover - - Once automatic failover has been set up, you should test its operation. To do - so, first locate the active NameNode. You can tell which node is active by - visiting the NameNode web interfaces -- each node reports its HA state at the - top of the page. - - Once you have located your active NameNode, you may cause a failure on that - node. For example, you can use <<>>> to simulate a JVM - crash. Or, you could power cycle the machine or unplug its network interface - to simulate a different kind of outage. After triggering the outage you wish - to test, the other NameNode should automatically become active within several - seconds. The amount of time required to detect a failure and trigger a - fail-over depends on the configuration of - <<>>, but defaults to 5 seconds. - - If the test does not succeed, you may have a misconfiguration. Check the logs - for the <<>> daemons as well as the NameNode daemons in order to further - diagnose the issue. - - -* Automatic Failover FAQ - - * <> - - No. On any given node you may start the ZKFC before or after its corresponding - NameNode. - - * <> - - You should add monitoring on each host that runs a NameNode to ensure that the - ZKFC remains running. In some types of ZooKeeper failures, for example, the - ZKFC may unexpectedly exit, and should be restarted to ensure that the system - is ready for automatic failover. - - Additionally, you should monitor each of the servers in the ZooKeeper - quorum. If ZooKeeper crashes, then automatic failover will not function. - - * <> - - If the ZooKeeper cluster crashes, no automatic failovers will be triggered. - However, HDFS will continue to run without any impact. When ZooKeeper is - restarted, HDFS will reconnect with no issues. - - * <> - - No. Currently, this is not supported. Whichever NameNode is started first will - become active. You may choose to start the cluster in a specific order such - that your preferred node starts first. - - * <> - - Even if automatic failover is configured, you may initiate a manual failover - using the same <<>> command. It will perform a coordinated - failover. - - -* BookKeeper as a Shared storage (EXPERIMENTAL) - - One option for shared storage for the NameNode is BookKeeper. - BookKeeper achieves high availability and strong durability guarantees by replicating - edit log entries across multiple storage nodes. The edit log can be striped across - the storage nodes for high performance. Fencing is supported in the protocol, i.e, - BookKeeper will not allow two writers to write the single edit log. - - The meta data for BookKeeper is stored in ZooKeeper. - In current HA architecture, a Zookeeper cluster is required for ZKFC. The same cluster can be - for BookKeeper metadata. - - For more details on building a BookKeeper cluster, please refer to the - {{{http://zookeeper.apache.org/bookkeeper/docs/trunk/bookkeeperConfig.html }BookKeeper documentation}} - - The BookKeeperJournalManager is an implementation of the HDFS JournalManager interface, which allows custom write ahead logging implementations to be plugged into the HDFS NameNode. - - **<> - - To use BookKeeperJournalManager, add the following to hdfs-site.xml. - ----- - - dfs.namenode.shared.edits.dir - bookkeeper://zk1:2181;zk2:2181;zk3:2181/hdfsjournal - - - - dfs.namenode.edits.journal-plugin.bookkeeper - org.apache.hadoop.contrib.bkjournal.BookKeeperJournalManager - ----- - - The URI format for bookkeeper is <<>> is a list of semi-colon separated, zookeeper host:port - pairs.

Please refer to the - HDFS Architecture guide for details. - -* {Note: Using the Quorum Journal Manager or Conventional Shared Storage} - - This guide discusses how to configure and use HDFS HA using the Quorum - Journal Manager (QJM) to share edit logs between the Active and Standby - NameNodes. For information on how to configure HDFS HA using NFS for shared - storage instead of the QJM, please see - {{{./HDFSHighAvailabilityWithNFS.html}this alternative guide.}} - -* {Background} - - Prior to Hadoop 2.0.0, the NameNode was a single point of failure (SPOF) in - an HDFS cluster. Each cluster had a single NameNode, and if that machine or - process became unavailable, the cluster as a whole would be unavailable - until the NameNode was either restarted or brought up on a separate machine. - - This impacted the total availability of the HDFS cluster in two major ways: - - * In the case of an unplanned event such as a machine crash, the cluster would - be unavailable until an operator restarted the NameNode. - - * Planned maintenance events such as software or hardware upgrades on the - NameNode machine would result in windows of cluster downtime. - - The HDFS High Availability feature addresses the above problems by providing - the option of running two redundant NameNodes in the same cluster in an - Active/Passive configuration with a hot standby. This allows a fast failover to - a new NameNode in the case that a machine crashes, or a graceful - administrator-initiated failover for the purpose of planned maintenance. - -* {Architecture} - - In a typical HA cluster, two separate machines are configured as NameNodes. - At any point in time, exactly one of the NameNodes is in an state, - and the other is in a state. The Active NameNode is responsible - for all client operations in the cluster, while the Standby is simply acting - as a slave, maintaining enough state to provide a fast failover if - necessary. - - In order for the Standby node to keep its state synchronized with the Active - node, both nodes communicate with a group of separate daemons called - "JournalNodes" (JNs). When any namespace modification is performed by the - Active node, it durably logs a record of the modification to a majority of - these JNs. The Standby node is capable of reading the edits from the JNs, and - is constantly watching them for changes to the edit log. As the Standby Node - sees the edits, it applies them to its own namespace. In the event of a - failover, the Standby will ensure that it has read all of the edits from the - JounalNodes before promoting itself to the Active state. This ensures that the - namespace state is fully synchronized before a failover occurs. - - In order to provide a fast failover, it is also necessary that the Standby node - have up-to-date information regarding the location of blocks in the cluster. - In order to achieve this, the DataNodes are configured with the location of - both NameNodes, and send block location information and heartbeats to both. - - It is vital for the correct operation of an HA cluster that only one of the - NameNodes be Active at a time. Otherwise, the namespace state would quickly - diverge between the two, risking data loss or other incorrect results. In - order to ensure this property and prevent the so-called "split-brain scenario," - the JournalNodes will only ever allow a single NameNode to be a writer at a - time. During a failover, the NameNode which is to become active will simply - take over the role of writing to the JournalNodes, which will effectively - prevent the other NameNode from continuing in the Active state, allowing the - new Active to safely proceed with failover. - -* {Hardware resources} - - In order to deploy an HA cluster, you should prepare the following: - - * <> - the machines on which you run the Active and - Standby NameNodes should have equivalent hardware to each other, and - equivalent hardware to what would be used in a non-HA cluster. - - * <> - the machines on which you run the JournalNodes. - The JournalNode daemon is relatively lightweight, so these daemons may - reasonably be collocated on machines with other Hadoop daemons, for example - NameNodes, the JobTracker, or the YARN ResourceManager. <> There - must be at least 3 JournalNode daemons, since edit log modifications must be - written to a majority of JNs. This will allow the system to tolerate the - failure of a single machine. You may also run more than 3 JournalNodes, but - in order to actually increase the number of failures the system can tolerate, - you should run an odd number of JNs, (i.e. 3, 5, 7, etc.). Note that when - running with N JournalNodes, the system can tolerate at most (N - 1) / 2 - failures and continue to function normally. - - Note that, in an HA cluster, the Standby NameNode also performs checkpoints of - the namespace state, and thus it is not necessary to run a Secondary NameNode, - CheckpointNode, or BackupNode in an HA cluster. In fact, to do so would be an - error. This also allows one who is reconfiguring a non-HA-enabled HDFS cluster - to be HA-enabled to reuse the hardware which they had previously dedicated to - the Secondary NameNode. - -* {Deployment} - -** Configuration overview - - Similar to Federation configuration, HA configuration is backward compatible - and allows existing single NameNode configurations to work without change. - The new configuration is designed such that all the nodes in the cluster may - have the same configuration without the need for deploying different - configuration files to different machines based on the type of the node. - - Like HDFS Federation, HA clusters reuse the <<>> to identify a - single HDFS instance that may in fact consist of multiple HA NameNodes. In - addition, a new abstraction called <<>> is added with HA. Each - distinct NameNode in the cluster has a different NameNode ID to distinguish it. - To support a single configuration file for all of the NameNodes, the relevant - configuration parameters are suffixed with the <> as well as - the <>. - -** Configuration details - - To configure HA NameNodes, you must add several configuration options to your - <> configuration file. - - The order in which you set these configurations is unimportant, but the values - you choose for <> and - <> will determine the keys of those that - follow. Thus, you should decide on these values before setting the rest of the - configuration options. - - * <> - the logical name for this new nameservice - - Choose a logical name for this nameservice, for example "mycluster", and use - this logical name for the value of this config option. The name you choose is - arbitrary. It will be used both for configuration and as the authority - component of absolute HDFS paths in the cluster. - - <> If you are also using HDFS Federation, this configuration setting - should also include the list of other nameservices, HA or otherwise, as a - comma-separated list. - ----- - - dfs.nameservices - mycluster - ----- - - * <> - unique identifiers for each NameNode in the nameservice - - Configure with a list of comma-separated NameNode IDs. This will be used by - DataNodes to determine all the NameNodes in the cluster. For example, if you - used "mycluster" as the nameservice ID previously, and you wanted to use "nn1" - and "nn2" as the individual IDs of the NameNodes, you would configure this as - such: - ----- - - dfs.ha.namenodes.mycluster - nn1,nn2 - ----- - - <> Currently, only a maximum of two NameNodes may be configured per - nameservice. - - * <> - the fully-qualified RPC address for each NameNode to listen on - - For both of the previously-configured NameNode IDs, set the full address and - IPC port of the NameNode processs. Note that this results in two separate - configuration options. For example: - ----- - - dfs.namenode.rpc-address.mycluster.nn1 - machine1.example.com:8020 - - - dfs.namenode.rpc-address.mycluster.nn2 - machine2.example.com:8020 - ----- - - <> You may similarly configure the "<>" setting if - you so desire. - - * <> - the fully-qualified HTTP address for each NameNode to listen on - - Similarly to above, set the addresses for both NameNodes' HTTP - servers to listen on. For example: - ----- - - dfs.namenode.http-address.mycluster.nn1 - machine1.example.com:50070 - - - dfs.namenode.http-address.mycluster.nn2 - machine2.example.com:50070 - ----- - - <> If you have Hadoop's security features enabled, you should also set - the similarly for each NameNode. - - * <> - the URI which identifies the group of JNs where the NameNodes will write/read edits - - This is where one configures the addresses of the JournalNodes which provide - the shared edits storage, written to by the Active nameNode and read by the - Standby NameNode to stay up-to-date with all the file system changes the Active - NameNode makes. Though you must specify several JournalNode addresses, - <> The URI should be of the form: - "qjournal://;;/". The Journal - ID is a unique identifier for this nameservice, which allows a single set of - JournalNodes to provide storage for multiple federated namesystems. Though not - a requirement, it's a good idea to reuse the nameservice ID for the journal - identifier. - - For example, if the JournalNodes for this cluster were running on the - machines "node1.example.com", "node2.example.com", and "node3.example.com" and - the nameservice ID were "mycluster", you would use the following as the value - for this setting (the default port for the JournalNode is 8485): - ----- - - dfs.namenode.shared.edits.dir - qjournal://node1.example.com:8485;node2.example.com:8485;node3.example.com:8485/mycluster - ----- - - * <> - the Java class that HDFS clients use to contact the Active NameNode - - Configure the name of the Java class which will be used by the DFS Client to - determine which NameNode is the current Active, and therefore which NameNode is - currently serving client requests. The only implementation which currently - ships with Hadoop is the <>, so use this - unless you are using a custom one. For example: - ----- - - dfs.client.failover.proxy.provider.mycluster - org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.ha.ConfiguredFailoverProxyProvider - ----- - - * <> - a list of scripts or Java classes which will be used to fence the Active NameNode during a failover - - It is desirable for correctness of the system that only one NameNode be in - the Active state at any given time. <> However, when a failover occurs, it is still - possible that the previous Active NameNode could serve read requests to - clients, which may be out of date until that NameNode shuts down when trying to - write to the JournalNodes. For this reason, it is still desirable to configure - some fencing methods even when using the Quorum Journal Manager. However, to - improve the availability of the system in the event the fencing mechanisms - fail, it is advisable to configure a fencing method which is guaranteed to - return success as the last fencing method in the list. Note that if you choose - to use no actual fencing methods, you still must configure something for this - setting, for example "<<>>". - - The fencing methods used during a failover are configured as a - carriage-return-separated list, which will be attempted in order until one - indicates that fencing has succeeded. There are two methods which ship with - Hadoop: and . For information on implementing your own custom - fencing method, see the class. - - * <> - SSH to the Active NameNode and kill the process - - The option SSHes to the target node and uses to kill the - process listening on the service's TCP port. In order for this fencing option - to work, it must be able to SSH to the target node without providing a - passphrase. Thus, one must also configure the - <> option, which is a - comma-separated list of SSH private key files. For example: - ---- - - dfs.ha.fencing.methods - sshfence - - - - dfs.ha.fencing.ssh.private-key-files - /home/exampleuser/.ssh/id_rsa - ---- - - Optionally, one may configure a non-standard username or port to perform the - SSH. One may also configure a timeout, in milliseconds, for the SSH, after - which this fencing method will be considered to have failed. It may be - configured like so: - ---- - - dfs.ha.fencing.methods - sshfence([[username][:port]]) - - - dfs.ha.fencing.ssh.connect-timeout - 30000 - ---- - - * <> - run an arbitrary shell command to fence the Active NameNode - - The fencing method runs an arbitrary shell command. It may be - configured like so: - ---- - - dfs.ha.fencing.methods - shell(/path/to/my/script.sh arg1 arg2 ...) - ---- - - The string between '(' and ')' is passed directly to a bash shell and may not - include any closing parentheses. - - The shell command will be run with an environment set up to contain all of the - current Hadoop configuration variables, with the '_' character replacing any - '.' characters in the configuration keys. The configuration used has already had - any namenode-specific configurations promoted to their generic forms -- for example - <> will contain the RPC address of the target node, even - though the configuration may specify that variable as - <>. - - Additionally, the following variables referring to the target node to be fenced - are also available: - -*-----------------------:-----------------------------------+ -| $target_host | hostname of the node to be fenced | -*-----------------------:-----------------------------------+ -| $target_port | IPC port of the node to be fenced | -*-----------------------:-----------------------------------+ -| $target_address | the above two, combined as host:port | -*-----------------------:-----------------------------------+ -| $target_nameserviceid | the nameservice ID of the NN to be fenced | -*-----------------------:-----------------------------------+ -| $target_namenodeid | the namenode ID of the NN to be fenced | -*-----------------------:-----------------------------------+ - - These environment variables may also be used as substitutions in the shell - command itself. For example: - ---- - - dfs.ha.fencing.methods - shell(/path/to/my/script.sh --nameservice=$target_nameserviceid $target_host:$target_port) - ---- - - If the shell command returns an exit - code of 0, the fencing is determined to be successful. If it returns any other - exit code, the fencing was not successful and the next fencing method in the - list will be attempted. - - <> This fencing method does not implement any timeout. If timeouts are - necessary, they should be implemented in the shell script itself (eg by forking - a subshell to kill its parent in some number of seconds). - - * <> - the default path prefix used by the Hadoop FS client when none is given - - Optionally, you may now configure the default path for Hadoop clients to use - the new HA-enabled logical URI. If you used "mycluster" as the nameservice ID - earlier, this will be the value of the authority portion of all of your HDFS - paths. This may be configured like so, in your <> file: - ---- - - fs.defaultFS - hdfs://mycluster - ---- - - - * <> - the path where the JournalNode daemon will store its local state - - This is the absolute path on the JournalNode machines where the edits and - other local state used by the JNs will be stored. You may only use a single - path for this configuration. Redundancy for this data is provided by running - multiple separate JournalNodes, or by configuring this directory on a - locally-attached RAID array. For example: - ---- - - dfs.journalnode.edits.dir - /path/to/journal/node/local/data - ---- - -** Deployment details - - After all of the necessary configuration options have been set, you must - start the JournalNode daemons on the set of machines where they will run. This - can be done by running the command "" and - waiting for the daemon to start on each of the relevant machines. - - Once the JournalNodes have been started, one must initially synchronize the - two HA NameNodes' on-disk metadata. - - * If you are setting up a fresh HDFS cluster, you should first run the format - command () on one of NameNodes. - - * If you have already formatted the NameNode, or are converting a - non-HA-enabled cluster to be HA-enabled, you should now copy over the - contents of your NameNode metadata directories to the other, unformatted - NameNode by running the command "" on the - unformatted NameNode. Running this command will also ensure that the - JournalNodes (as configured by <>) contain - sufficient edits transactions to be able to start both NameNodes. - - * If you are converting a non-HA NameNode to be HA, you should run the - command "", which will initialize the - JournalNodes with the edits data from the local NameNode edits directories. - - At this point you may start both of your HA NameNodes as you normally would - start a NameNode. - - You can visit each of the NameNodes' web pages separately by browsing to their - configured HTTP addresses. You should notice that next to the configured - address will be the HA state of the NameNode (either "standby" or "active".) - Whenever an HA NameNode starts, it is initially in the Standby state. - -** Administrative commands - - Now that your HA NameNodes are configured and started, you will have access - to some additional commands to administer your HA HDFS cluster. Specifically, - you should familiarize yourself with all of the subcommands of the "" command. Running this command without any additional arguments will - display the following usage information: - ---- -Usage: DFSHAAdmin [-ns ] - [-transitionToActive ] - [-transitionToStandby ] - [-failover [--forcefence] [--forceactive] ] - [-getServiceState ] - [-checkHealth ] - [-help ] ---- - - This guide describes high-level uses of each of these subcommands. For - specific usage information of each subcommand, you should run ">". - - * <> and <> - transition the state of the given NameNode to Active or Standby - - These subcommands cause a given NameNode to transition to the Active or Standby - state, respectively. <> Instead, one should almost always prefer to - use the "" subcommand. - - * <> - initiate a failover between two NameNodes - - This subcommand causes a failover from the first provided NameNode to the - second. If the first NameNode is in the Standby state, this command simply - transitions the second to the Active state without error. If the first NameNode - is in the Active state, an attempt will be made to gracefully transition it to - the Standby state. If this fails, the fencing methods (as configured by - <>) will be attempted in order until one - succeeds. Only after this process will the second NameNode be transitioned to - the Active state. If no fencing method succeeds, the second NameNode will not - be transitioned to the Active state, and an error will be returned. - - * <> - determine whether the given NameNode is Active or Standby - - Connect to the provided NameNode to determine its current state, printing - either "standby" or "active" to STDOUT appropriately. This subcommand might be - used by cron jobs or monitoring scripts which need to behave differently based - on whether the NameNode is currently Active or Standby. - - * <> - check the health of the given NameNode - - Connect to the provided NameNode to check its health. The NameNode is capable - of performing some diagnostics on itself, including checking if internal - services are running as expected. This command will return 0 if the NameNode is - healthy, non-zero otherwise. One might use this command for monitoring - purposes. - - <> This is not yet implemented, and at present will always return - success, unless the given NameNode is completely down. - -* {Automatic Failover} - -** Introduction - - The above sections describe how to configure manual failover. In that mode, - the system will not automatically trigger a failover from the active to the - standby NameNode, even if the active node has failed. This section describes - how to configure and deploy automatic failover. - -** Components - - Automatic failover adds two new components to an HDFS deployment: a ZooKeeper - quorum, and the ZKFailoverController process (abbreviated as ZKFC). - - Apache ZooKeeper is a highly available service for maintaining small amounts - of coordination data, notifying clients of changes in that data, and - monitoring clients for failures. The implementation of automatic HDFS failover - relies on ZooKeeper for the following things: - - * <> - each of the NameNode machines in the cluster - maintains a persistent session in ZooKeeper. If the machine crashes, the - ZooKeeper session will expire, notifying the other NameNode that a failover - should be triggered. - - * <> - ZooKeeper provides a simple mechanism to - exclusively elect a node as active. If the current active NameNode crashes, - another node may take a special exclusive lock in ZooKeeper indicating that - it should become the next active. - - The ZKFailoverController (ZKFC) is a new component which is a ZooKeeper client - which also monitors and manages the state of the NameNode. Each of the - machines which runs a NameNode also runs a ZKFC, and that ZKFC is responsible - for: - - * <> - the ZKFC pings its local NameNode on a periodic - basis with a health-check command. So long as the NameNode responds in a - timely fashion with a healthy status, the ZKFC considers the node - healthy. If the node has crashed, frozen, or otherwise entered an unhealthy - state, the health monitor will mark it as unhealthy. - - * <> - when the local NameNode is healthy, the - ZKFC holds a session open in ZooKeeper. If the local NameNode is active, it - also holds a special "lock" znode. This lock uses ZooKeeper's support for - "ephemeral" nodes; if the session expires, the lock node will be - automatically deleted. - - * <> - if the local NameNode is healthy, and the - ZKFC sees that no other node currently holds the lock znode, it will itself - try to acquire the lock. If it succeeds, then it has "won the election", and - is responsible for running a failover to make its local NameNode active. The - failover process is similar to the manual failover described above: first, - the previous active is fenced if necessary, and then the local NameNode - transitions to active state. - - For more details on the design of automatic failover, refer to the design - document attached to HDFS-2185 on the Apache HDFS JIRA. - -** Deploying ZooKeeper - - In a typical deployment, ZooKeeper daemons are configured to run on three or - five nodes. Since ZooKeeper itself has light resource requirements, it is - acceptable to collocate the ZooKeeper nodes on the same hardware as the HDFS - NameNode and Standby Node. Many operators choose to deploy the third ZooKeeper - process on the same node as the YARN ResourceManager. It is advisable to - configure the ZooKeeper nodes to store their data on separate disk drives from - the HDFS metadata for best performance and isolation. - - The setup of ZooKeeper is out of scope for this document. We will assume that - you have set up a ZooKeeper cluster running on three or more nodes, and have - verified its correct operation by connecting using the ZK CLI. - -** Before you begin - - Before you begin configuring automatic failover, you should shut down your - cluster. It is not currently possible to transition from a manual failover - setup to an automatic failover setup while the cluster is running. - -** Configuring automatic failover - - The configuration of automatic failover requires the addition of two new - parameters to your configuration. In your <<>> file, add: - ----- - - dfs.ha.automatic-failover.enabled - true - ----- - - This specifies that the cluster should be set up for automatic failover. - In your <<>> file, add: - ----- - - ha.zookeeper.quorum - zk1.example.com:2181,zk2.example.com:2181,zk3.example.com:2181 - ----- - - This lists the host-port pairs running the ZooKeeper service. - - As with the parameters described earlier in the document, these settings may - be configured on a per-nameservice basis by suffixing the configuration key - with the nameservice ID. For example, in a cluster with federation enabled, - you can explicitly enable automatic failover for only one of the nameservices - by setting <<>>. - - There are also several other configuration parameters which may be set to - control the behavior of automatic failover; however, they are not necessary - for most installations. Please refer to the configuration key specific - documentation for details. - -** Initializing HA state in ZooKeeper - - After the configuration keys have been added, the next step is to initialize - required state in ZooKeeper. You can do so by running the following command - from one of the NameNode hosts. - ----- -[hdfs]$ $HADOOP_PREFIX/bin/hdfs zkfc -formatZK ----- - - This will create a znode in ZooKeeper inside of which the automatic failover - system stores its data. - -** Starting the cluster with <<>> - - Since automatic failover has been enabled in the configuration, the - <<>> script will now automatically start a ZKFC daemon on any - machine that runs a NameNode. When the ZKFCs start, they will automatically - select one of the NameNodes to become active. - -** Starting the cluster manually - - If you manually manage the services on your cluster, you will need to manually - start the <<>> daemon on each of the machines that runs a NameNode. You - can start the daemon by running: - ----- -[hdfs]$ $HADOOP_PREFIX/bin/hdfs --daemon start zkfc ----- - -** Securing access to ZooKeeper - - If you are running a secure cluster, you will likely want to ensure that the - information stored in ZooKeeper is also secured. This prevents malicious - clients from modifying the metadata in ZooKeeper or potentially triggering a - false failover. - - In order to secure the information in ZooKeeper, first add the following to - your <<>> file: - ----- - - ha.zookeeper.auth - @/path/to/zk-auth.txt - - - ha.zookeeper.acl - @/path/to/zk-acl.txt - ----- - - Please note the '@' character in these values -- this specifies that the - configurations are not inline, but rather point to a file on disk. - - The first configured file specifies a list of ZooKeeper authentications, in - the same format as used by the ZK CLI. For example, you may specify something - like: - ----- -digest:hdfs-zkfcs:mypassword ----- - ...where <<>> is a unique username for ZooKeeper, and - <<>> is some unique string used as a password. - - Next, generate a ZooKeeper ACL that corresponds to this authentication, using - a command like the following: - ----- -[hdfs]$ java -cp $ZK_HOME/lib/*:$ZK_HOME/zookeeper-3.4.2.jar org.apache.zookeeper.server.auth.DigestAuthenticationProvider hdfs-zkfcs:mypassword -output: hdfs-zkfcs:mypassword->hdfs-zkfcs:P/OQvnYyU/nF/mGYvB/xurX8dYs= ----- - - Copy and paste the section of this output after the '->' string into the file - <<>>, prefixed by the string "<<>>". For example: - ----- -digest:hdfs-zkfcs:vlUvLnd8MlacsE80rDuu6ONESbM=:rwcda ----- - - In order for these ACLs to take effect, you should then rerun the - <<>> command as described above. - - After doing so, you may verify the ACLs from the ZK CLI as follows: - ----- -[zk: localhost:2181(CONNECTED) 1] getAcl /hadoop-ha -'digest,'hdfs-zkfcs:vlUvLnd8MlacsE80rDuu6ONESbM= -: cdrwa ----- - -** Verifying automatic failover - - Once automatic failover has been set up, you should test its operation. To do - so, first locate the active NameNode. You can tell which node is active by - visiting the NameNode web interfaces -- each node reports its HA state at the - top of the page. - - Once you have located your active NameNode, you may cause a failure on that - node. For example, you can use <<>>> to simulate a JVM - crash. Or, you could power cycle the machine or unplug its network interface - to simulate a different kind of outage. After triggering the outage you wish - to test, the other NameNode should automatically become active within several - seconds. The amount of time required to detect a failure and trigger a - fail-over depends on the configuration of - <<>>, but defaults to 5 seconds. - - If the test does not succeed, you may have a misconfiguration. Check the logs - for the <<>> daemons as well as the NameNode daemons in order to further - diagnose the issue. - - -* Automatic Failover FAQ - - * <> - - No. On any given node you may start the ZKFC before or after its corresponding - NameNode. - - * <> - - You should add monitoring on each host that runs a NameNode to ensure that the - ZKFC remains running. In some types of ZooKeeper failures, for example, the - ZKFC may unexpectedly exit, and should be restarted to ensure that the system - is ready for automatic failover. - - Additionally, you should monitor each of the servers in the ZooKeeper - quorum. If ZooKeeper crashes, then automatic failover will not function. - - * <> - - If the ZooKeeper cluster crashes, no automatic failovers will be triggered. - However, HDFS will continue to run without any impact. When ZooKeeper is - restarted, HDFS will reconnect with no issues. - - * <> - - No. Currently, this is not supported. Whichever NameNode is started first will - become active. You may choose to start the cluster in a specific order such - that your preferred node starts first. - - * <> - - Even if automatic failover is configured, you may initiate a manual failover - using the same <<>> command. It will perform a coordinated - failover. - -* HDFS Upgrade/Finalization/Rollback with HA Enabled - - When moving between versions of HDFS, sometimes the newer software can simply - be installed and the cluster restarted. Sometimes, however, upgrading the - version of HDFS you're running may require changing on-disk data. In this case, - one must use the HDFS Upgrade/Finalize/Rollback facility after installing the - new software. This process is made more complex in an HA environment, since the - on-disk metadata that the NN relies upon is by definition distributed, both on - the two HA NNs in the pair, and on the JournalNodes in the case that QJM is - being used for the shared edits storage. This documentation section describes - the procedure to use the HDFS Upgrade/Finalize/Rollback facility in an HA setup. - - <>, the operator must do the following: - - [[1]] Shut down all of the NNs as normal, and install the newer software. - - [[2]] Start up all of the JNs. Note that it is <> that all the - JNs be running when performing the upgrade, rollback, or finalization - operations. If any of the JNs are down at the time of running any of these - operations, the operation will fail. - - [[3]] Start one of the NNs with the <<<'-upgrade'>>> flag. - - [[4]] On start, this NN will not enter the standby state as usual in an HA - setup. Rather, this NN will immediately enter the active state, perform an - upgrade of its local storage dirs, and also perform an upgrade of the shared - edit log. - - [[5]] At this point the other NN in the HA pair will be out of sync with - the upgraded NN. In order to bring it back in sync and once again have a highly - available setup, you should re-bootstrap this NameNode by running the NN with - the <<<'-bootstrapStandby'>>> flag. It is an error to start this second NN with - the <<<'-upgrade'>>> flag. - - Note that if at any time you want to restart the NameNodes before finalizing - or rolling back the upgrade, you should start the NNs as normal, i.e. without - any special startup flag. - - <>, the operator will use the <<<`hdfs - dfsadmin -finalizeUpgrade'>>> command while the NNs are running and one of them - is active. The active NN at the time this happens will perform the finalization - of the shared log, and the NN whose local storage directories contain the - previous FS state will delete its local state. - - <> of an upgrade, both NNs should first be shut down. - The operator should run the roll back command on the NN where they initiated - the upgrade procedure, which will perform the rollback on the local dirs there, - as well as on the shared log, either NFS or on the JNs. Afterward, this NN - should be started and the operator should run <<<`-bootstrapStandby'>>> on the - other NN to bring the two NNs in sync with this rolled-back file system state. diff --git a/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/src/site/apt/HdfsDesign.apt.vm b/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/src/site/apt/HdfsDesign.apt.vm deleted file mode 100644 index 00628b13b8f..00000000000 --- a/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/src/site/apt/HdfsDesign.apt.vm +++ /dev/null @@ -1,510 +0,0 @@ -~~ Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); -~~ you may not use this file except in compliance with the License. -~~ You may obtain a copy of the License at -~~ -~~ http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 -~~ -~~ Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, software -~~ distributed under the License is distributed on an "AS IS" BASIS, -~~ WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied. -~~ See the License for the specific language governing permissions and -~~ limitations under the License.

It has many similarities with - existing distributed file systems. However, the differences from other - distributed file systems are significant. HDFS is highly fault-tolerant - and is designed to be deployed on low-cost hardware. HDFS provides high - throughput access to application data and is suitable for applications - that have large data sets. HDFS relaxes a few POSIX requirements to - enable streaming access to file system data. HDFS was originally built - as infrastructure for the Apache Nutch web search engine project. HDFS - is part of the Apache Hadoop Core project. The project URL is - {{http://hadoop.apache.org/}}. - -* Assumptions and Goals - -** Hardware Failure - - Hardware failure is the norm rather than the exception. An HDFS - instance may consist of hundreds or thousands of server machines, each - storing part of the file system’s data. The fact that there are a huge - number of components and that each component has a non-trivial - probability of failure means that some component of HDFS is always - non-functional. Therefore, detection of faults and quick, automatic - recovery from them is a core architectural goal of HDFS. - -** Streaming Data Access - - Applications that run on HDFS need streaming access to their data sets. - They are not general purpose applications that typically run on general - purpose file systems. HDFS is designed more for batch processing rather - than interactive use by users. The emphasis is on high throughput of - data access rather than low latency of data access. POSIX imposes many - hard requirements that are not needed for applications that are - targeted for HDFS. POSIX semantics in a few key areas has been traded - to increase data throughput rates. - -** Large Data Sets - - Applications that run on HDFS have large data sets. A typical file in - HDFS is gigabytes to terabytes in size. Thus, HDFS is tuned to support - large files. It should provide high aggregate data bandwidth and scale - to hundreds of nodes in a single cluster. It should support tens of - millions of files in a single instance. - -** Simple Coherency Model - - HDFS applications need a write-once-read-many access model for files. A - file once created, written, and closed need not be changed. This - assumption simplifies data coherency issues and enables high throughput - data access. A Map/Reduce application or a web crawler application fits - perfectly with this model. There is a plan to support appending-writes - to files in the future. - -** “Moving Computation is Cheaper than Moving Data” - - A computation requested by an application is much more efficient if it - is executed near the data it operates on. This is especially true when - the size of the data set is huge. This minimizes network congestion and - increases the overall throughput of the system. The assumption is that - it is often better to migrate the computation closer to where the data - is located rather than moving the data to where the application is - running. HDFS provides interfaces for applications to move themselves - closer to where the data is located. - -** Portability Across Heterogeneous Hardware and Software Platforms - - HDFS has been designed to be easily portable from one platform to - another. This facilitates widespread adoption of HDFS as a platform of - choice for a large set of applications. - -* NameNode and DataNodes - - HDFS has a master/slave architecture. An HDFS cluster consists of a - single NameNode, a master server that manages the file system namespace - and regulates access to files by clients. In addition, there are a - number of DataNodes, usually one per node in the cluster, which manage - storage attached to the nodes that they run on. HDFS exposes a file - system namespace and allows user data to be stored in files. - Internally, a file is split into one or more blocks and these blocks - are stored in a set of DataNodes. The NameNode executes file system - namespace operations like opening, closing, and renaming files and - directories. It also determines the mapping of blocks to DataNodes. The - DataNodes are responsible for serving read and write requests from the - file system’s clients. The DataNodes also perform block creation, - deletion, and replication upon instruction from the NameNode. - - -[images/hdfsarchitecture.png] HDFS Architecture - - The NameNode and DataNode are pieces of software designed to run on - commodity machines. These machines typically run a GNU/Linux operating - system (OS). HDFS is built using the Java language; any machine that - supports Java can run the NameNode or the DataNode software. Usage of - the highly portable Java language means that HDFS can be deployed on a - wide range of machines. A typical deployment has a dedicated machine - that runs only the NameNode software. Each of the other machines in the - cluster runs one instance of the DataNode software. The architecture - does not preclude running multiple DataNodes on the same machine but in - a real deployment that is rarely the case. - - The existence of a single NameNode in a cluster greatly simplifies the - architecture of the system. The NameNode is the arbitrator and - repository for all HDFS metadata. The system is designed in such a way - that user data never flows through the NameNode. - -* The File System Namespace - - HDFS supports a traditional hierarchical file organization. A user or - an application can create directories and store files inside these - directories. The file system namespace hierarchy is similar to most - other existing file systems; one can create and remove files, move a - file from one directory to another, or rename a file. HDFS does not yet - implement user quotas or access permissions. HDFS does not support hard - links or soft links. However, the HDFS architecture does not preclude - implementing these features. - - The NameNode maintains the file system namespace. Any change to the - file system namespace or its properties is recorded by the NameNode. An - application can specify the number of replicas of a file that should be - maintained by HDFS. The number of copies of a file is called the - replication factor of that file. This information is stored by the - NameNode. - -* Data Replication - - HDFS is designed to reliably store very large files across machines in - a large cluster. It stores each file as a sequence of blocks; all - blocks in a file except the last block are the same size. The blocks of - a file are replicated for fault tolerance. The block size and - replication factor are configurable per file. An application can - specify the number of replicas of a file. The replication factor can be - specified at file creation time and can be changed later. Files in HDFS - are write-once and have strictly one writer at any time. - - The NameNode makes all decisions regarding replication of blocks. It - periodically receives a Heartbeat and a Blockreport from each of the - DataNodes in the cluster. Receipt of a Heartbeat implies that the - DataNode is functioning properly. A Blockreport contains a list of all - blocks on a DataNode. - -[images/hdfsdatanodes.png] HDFS DataNodes - -** Replica Placement: The First Baby Steps - - The placement of replicas is critical to HDFS reliability and - performance. Optimizing replica placement distinguishes HDFS from most - other distributed file systems. This is a feature that needs lots of - tuning and experience. The purpose of a rack-aware replica placement - policy is to improve data reliability, availability, and network - bandwidth utilization. The current implementation for the replica - placement policy is a first effort in this direction. The short-term - goals of implementing this policy are to validate it on production - systems, learn more about its behavior, and build a foundation to test - and research more sophisticated policies. - - Large HDFS instances run on a cluster of computers that commonly spread - across many racks. Communication between two nodes in different racks - has to go through switches. In most cases, network bandwidth between - machines in the same rack is greater than network bandwidth between - machines in different racks. - - The NameNode determines the rack id each DataNode belongs to via the - process outlined in {{{../hadoop-common/ClusterSetup.html#Hadoop+Rack+Awareness}Hadoop Rack Awareness}}. A simple but non-optimal policy - is to place replicas on unique racks. This prevents losing data when an - entire rack fails and allows use of bandwidth from multiple racks when - reading data. This policy evenly distributes replicas in the cluster - which makes it easy to balance load on component failure. However, this - policy increases the cost of writes because a write needs to transfer - blocks to multiple racks. - - For the common case, when the replication factor is three, HDFS’s - placement policy is to put one replica on one node in the local rack, - another on a different node in the local rack, and the last on a - different node in a different rack. This policy cuts the inter-rack - write traffic which generally improves write performance. The chance of - rack failure is far less than that of node failure; this policy does - not impact data reliability and availability guarantees. However, it - does reduce the aggregate network bandwidth used when reading data - since a block is placed in only two unique racks rather than three. - With this policy, the replicas of a file do not evenly distribute - across the racks. One third of replicas are on one node, two thirds of - replicas are on one rack, and the other third are evenly distributed - across the remaining racks. This policy improves write performance - without compromising data reliability or read performance. - - The current, default replica placement policy described here is a work - in progress. - -** Replica Selection - - To minimize global bandwidth consumption and read latency, HDFS tries - to satisfy a read request from a replica that is closest to the reader. - If there exists a replica on the same rack as the reader node, then - that replica is preferred to satisfy the read request. If angg/ HDFS - cluster spans multiple data centers, then a replica that is resident in - the local data center is preferred over any remote replica. - -** Safemode - - On startup, the NameNode enters a special state called Safemode. - Replication of data blocks does not occur when the NameNode is in the - Safemode state. The NameNode receives Heartbeat and Blockreport - messages from the DataNodes. A Blockreport contains the list of data - blocks that a DataNode is hosting. Each block has a specified minimum - number of replicas. A block is considered safely replicated when the - minimum number of replicas of that data block has checked in with the - NameNode. After a configurable percentage of safely replicated data - blocks checks in with the NameNode (plus an additional 30 seconds), the - NameNode exits the Safemode state. It then determines the list of data - blocks (if any) that still have fewer than the specified number of - replicas. The NameNode then replicates these blocks to other DataNodes. - -* The Persistence of File System Metadata - - The HDFS namespace is stored by the NameNode. The NameNode uses a - transaction log called the EditLog to persistently record every change - that occurs to file system metadata. For example, creating a new file - in HDFS causes the NameNode to insert a record into the EditLog - indicating this. Similarly, changing the replication factor of a file - causes a new record to be inserted into the EditLog. The NameNode uses - a file in its local host OS file system to store the EditLog. The - entire file system namespace, including the mapping of blocks to files - and file system properties, is stored in a file called the FsImage. The - FsImage is stored as a file in the NameNode’s local file system too. - - The NameNode keeps an image of the entire file system namespace and - file Blockmap in memory. This key metadata item is designed to be - compact, such that a NameNode with 4 GB of RAM is plenty to support a - huge number of files and directories. When the NameNode starts up, it - reads the FsImage and EditLog from disk, applies all the transactions - from the EditLog to the in-memory representation of the FsImage, and - flushes out this new version into a new FsImage on disk. It can then - truncate the old EditLog because its transactions have been applied to - the persistent FsImage. This process is called a checkpoint. In the - current implementation, a checkpoint only occurs when the NameNode - starts up. Work is in progress to support periodic checkpointing in the - near future. - - The DataNode stores HDFS data in files in its local file system. The - DataNode has no knowledge about HDFS files. It stores each block of - HDFS data in a separate file in its local file system. The DataNode - does not create all files in the same directory. Instead, it uses a - heuristic to determine the optimal number of files per directory and - creates subdirectories appropriately. It is not optimal to create all - local files in the same directory because the local file system might - not be able to efficiently support a huge number of files in a single - directory. When a DataNode starts up, it scans through its local file - system, generates a list of all HDFS data blocks that correspond to - each of these local files and sends this report to the NameNode: this - is the Blockreport. - -* The Communication Protocols - - All HDFS communication protocols are layered on top of the TCP/IP - protocol. A client establishes a connection to a configurable TCP port - on the NameNode machine. It talks the ClientProtocol with the NameNode. - The DataNodes talk to the NameNode using the DataNode Protocol. A - Remote Procedure Call (RPC) abstraction wraps both the Client Protocol - and the DataNode Protocol. By design, the NameNode never initiates any - RPCs. Instead, it only responds to RPC requests issued by DataNodes or - clients. - -* Robustness - - The primary objective of HDFS is to store data reliably even in the - presence of failures. The three common types of failures are NameNode - failures, DataNode failures and network partitions. - -** Data Disk Failure, Heartbeats and Re-Replication - - Each DataNode sends a Heartbeat message to the NameNode periodically. A - network partition can cause a subset of DataNodes to lose connectivity - with the NameNode. The NameNode detects this condition by the absence - of a Heartbeat message. The NameNode marks DataNodes without recent - Heartbeats as dead and does not forward any new IO requests to them. - Any data that was registered to a dead DataNode is not available to - HDFS any more. DataNode death may cause the replication factor of some - blocks to fall below their specified value. The NameNode constantly - tracks which blocks need to be replicated and initiates replication - whenever necessary. The necessity for re-replication may arise due to - many reasons: a DataNode may become unavailable, a replica may become - corrupted, a hard disk on a DataNode may fail, or the replication - factor of a file may be increased. - -** Cluster Rebalancing - - The HDFS architecture is compatible with data rebalancing schemes. A - scheme might automatically move data from one DataNode to another if - the free space on a DataNode falls below a certain threshold. In the - event of a sudden high demand for a particular file, a scheme might - dynamically create additional replicas and rebalance other data in the - cluster. These types of data rebalancing schemes are not yet - implemented. - -** Data Integrity - - It is possible that a block of data fetched from a DataNode arrives - corrupted. This corruption can occur because of faults in a storage - device, network faults, or buggy software. The HDFS client software - implements checksum checking on the contents of HDFS files. When a - client creates an HDFS file, it computes a checksum of each block of - the file and stores these checksums in a separate hidden file in the - same HDFS namespace. When a client retrieves file contents it verifies - that the data it received from each DataNode matches the checksum - stored in the associated checksum file. If not, then the client can opt - to retrieve that block from another DataNode that has a replica of that - block. - -** Metadata Disk Failure - - The FsImage and the EditLog are central data structures of HDFS. A - corruption of these files can cause the HDFS instance to be - non-functional. For this reason, the NameNode can be configured to - support maintaining multiple copies of the FsImage and EditLog. Any - update to either the FsImage or EditLog causes each of the FsImages and - EditLogs to get updated synchronously. This synchronous updating of - multiple copies of the FsImage and EditLog may degrade the rate of - namespace transactions per second that a NameNode can support. However, - this degradation is acceptable because even though HDFS applications - are very data intensive in nature, they are not metadata intensive. - When a NameNode restarts, it selects the latest consistent FsImage and - EditLog to use. - - The NameNode machine is a single point of failure for an HDFS cluster. - If the NameNode machine fails, manual intervention is necessary. - Currently, automatic restart and failover of the NameNode software to - another machine is not supported. - -** Snapshots - - Snapshots support storing a copy of data at a particular instant of - time. One usage of the snapshot feature may be to roll back a corrupted - HDFS instance to a previously known good point in time. HDFS does not - currently support snapshots but will in a future release. - -* Data Organization - -** Data Blocks - - HDFS is designed to support very large files. Applications that are - compatible with HDFS are those that deal with large data sets. These - applications write their data only once but they read it one or more - times and require these reads to be satisfied at streaming speeds. HDFS - supports write-once-read-many semantics on files. A typical block size - used by HDFS is 64 MB. Thus, an HDFS file is chopped up into 64 MB - chunks, and if possible, each chunk will reside on a different - DataNode. - -** Staging - - A client request to create a file does not reach the NameNode - immediately. In fact, initially the HDFS client caches the file data - into a temporary local file. Application writes are transparently - redirected to this temporary local file. When the local file - accumulates data worth over one HDFS block size, the client contacts - the NameNode. The NameNode inserts the file name into the file system - hierarchy and allocates a data block for it. The NameNode responds to - the client request with the identity of the DataNode and the - destination data block. Then the client flushes the block of data from - the local temporary file to the specified DataNode. When a file is - closed, the remaining un-flushed data in the temporary local file is - transferred to the DataNode. The client then tells the NameNode that - the file is closed. At this point, the NameNode commits the file - creation operation into a persistent store. If the NameNode dies before - the file is closed, the file is lost. - - The above approach has been adopted after careful consideration of - target applications that run on HDFS. These applications need streaming - writes to files. If a client writes to a remote file directly without - any client side buffering, the network speed and the congestion in the - network impacts throughput considerably. This approach is not without - precedent. Earlier distributed file systems, e.g. AFS, have used client - side caching to improve performance. A POSIX requirement has been - relaxed to achieve higher performance of data uploads. - -** Replication Pipelining - - When a client is writing data to an HDFS file, its data is first - written to a local file as explained in the previous section. Suppose - the HDFS file has a replication factor of three. When the local file - accumulates a full block of user data, the client retrieves a list of - DataNodes from the NameNode. This list contains the DataNodes that will - host a replica of that block. The client then flushes the data block to - the first DataNode. The first DataNode starts receiving the data in - small portions, writes each portion to its local repository and - transfers that portion to the second DataNode in the list. The second - DataNode, in turn starts receiving each portion of the data block, - writes that portion to its repository and then flushes that portion to - the third DataNode. Finally, the third DataNode writes the data to its - local repository. Thus, a DataNode can be receiving data from the - previous one in the pipeline and at the same time forwarding data to - the next one in the pipeline. Thus, the data is pipelined from one - DataNode to the next. - -* Accessibility - - HDFS can be accessed from applications in many different ways. - Natively, HDFS provides a - {{{http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/api/}FileSystem Java API}} - for applications to use. A C language wrapper for this Java API is also - available. In addition, an HTTP browser can also be used to browse the files - of an HDFS instance. Work is in progress to expose HDFS through the WebDAV - protocol. - -** FS Shell - - HDFS allows user data to be organized in the form of files and - directories. It provides a commandline interface called FS shell that - lets a user interact with the data in HDFS. The syntax of this command - set is similar to other shells (e.g. bash, csh) that users are already - familiar with. Here are some sample action/command pairs: - -*---------+---------+ -|| Action | Command -*---------+---------+ -| Create a directory named <<>> | <<>> -*---------+---------+ -| Remove a directory named <<>> | <<>> -*---------+---------+ -| View the contents of a file named <<>> | <<>> -*---------+---------+ - - FS shell is targeted for applications that need a scripting language to - interact with the stored data. - -** DFSAdmin - - The DFSAdmin command set is used for administering an HDFS cluster. - These are commands that are used only by an HDFS administrator. Here - are some sample action/command pairs: - -*---------+---------+ -|| Action | Command -*---------+---------+ -|Put the cluster in Safemode | <<>> -*---------+---------+ -|Generate a list of DataNodes | <<>> -*---------+---------+ -|Recommission or decommission DataNode(s) | <<>> -*---------+---------+ - -** Browser Interface - - A typical HDFS install configures a web server to expose the HDFS - namespace through a configurable TCP port. This allows a user to - navigate the HDFS namespace and view the contents of its files using a - web browser. - -* Space Reclamation - -** File Deletes and Undeletes - - When a file is deleted by a user or an application, it is not - immediately removed from HDFS. Instead, HDFS first renames it to a file - in the <<>> directory. The file can be restored quickly as long as it - remains in <<>>. A file remains in <<>> for a configurable amount - of time. After the expiry of its life in <<>>, the NameNode deletes - the file from the HDFS namespace. The deletion of a file causes the - blocks associated with the file to be freed. Note that there could be - an appreciable time delay between the time a file is deleted by a user - and the time of the corresponding increase in free space in HDFS. - - A user can Undelete a file after deleting it as long as it remains in - the <<>> directory. If a user wants to undelete a file that he/she - has deleted, he/she can navigate the <<>> directory and retrieve the - file. The <<>> directory contains only the latest copy of the file - that was deleted. The <<>> directory is just like any other directory - with one special feature: HDFS applies specified policies to - automatically delete files from this directory. Current default trash - interval is set to 0 (Deletes file without storing in trash). This value is - configurable parameter stored as <<>> stored in - core-site.xml. - -** Decrease Replication Factor - - When the replication factor of a file is reduced, the NameNode selects - excess replicas that can be deleted. The next Heartbeat transfers this - information to the DataNode. The DataNode then removes the - corresponding blocks and the corresponding free space appears in the - cluster. Once again, there might be a time delay between the completion - of the setReplication API call and the appearance of free space in the - cluster. - -* References - - Hadoop {{{http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/api/}JavaDoc API}}. - - HDFS source code: {{http://hadoop.apache.org/version_control.html}} diff --git a/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/src/site/apt/HdfsEditsViewer.apt.vm b/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/src/site/apt/HdfsEditsViewer.apt.vm deleted file mode 100644 index 8c2db1b243c..00000000000 --- a/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/src/site/apt/HdfsEditsViewer.apt.vm +++ /dev/null @@ -1,104 +0,0 @@ -~~ Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); -~~ you may not use this file except in compliance with the License. -~~ You may obtain a copy of the License at -~~ -~~ http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 -~~ -~~ Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, software -~~ distributed under the License is distributed on an "AS IS" BASIS, -~~ WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied. -~~ See the License for the specific language governing permissions and -~~ limitations under the License.

The tool is able to process very large image files relatively - quickly. The tool handles the layout formats that were included with Hadoop - versions 2.4 and up. If you want to handle older layout formats, you can - use the Offline Image Viewer of Hadoop 2.3 or {{oiv_legacy Command}}. - If the tool is not able to process an image file, it will exit cleanly. - The Offline Image Viewer does not require a Hadoop cluster to be running; - it is entirely offline in its operation. - - The Offline Image Viewer provides several output processors: - - [[1]] Web is the default output processor. It launches a HTTP server - that exposes read-only WebHDFS API.

The - output of this processor is amenable to automated processing and - analysis with XML tools. Due to the verbosity of the XML syntax, - this processor will also generate the largest amount of output. - - [[3]] FileDistribution is the tool for analyzing file sizes in the - namespace image. In order to run the tool one should define a range - of integers [0, maxSize] by specifying maxSize and a step.

Suppose the proxy user is 'nfsserver' - and users belonging to the groups 'users-group1' - and 'users-group2' use the NFS mounts, then in core-site.xml of the NameNode, the following - two properities must be set and only NameNode needs restart after the configuration change - (NOTE: replace the string 'nfsserver' with the proxy user name in your cluster): - ----- - - hadoop.proxyuser.nfsserver.groups - root,users-group1,users-group2 - - The 'nfsserver' user is allowed to proxy all members of the 'users-group1' and - 'users-group2' groups. Note that in most cases you will need to include the - group "root" because the user "root" (which usually belonges to "root" group) will - generally be the user that initially executes the mount on the NFS client system. - Set this to '*' to allow nfsserver user to proxy any group. - - ----- - ----- - - hadoop.proxyuser.nfsserver.hosts - nfs-client-host1.com - - This is the host where the nfs gateway is running. Set this to '*' to allow - requests from any hosts to be proxied. - - ----- - - The above are the only required configuration for the NFS gateway in non-secure mode. For Kerberized - hadoop clusters, the following configurations need to be added to hdfs-site.xml for the gateway (NOTE: replace - string "nfsserver" with the proxy user name and ensure the user contained in the keytab is - also the same proxy user): - ----- - - nfs.keytab.file - /etc/hadoop/conf/nfsserver.keytab - ----- - ----- - - nfs.kerberos.principal - nfsserver/_HOST@YOUR-REALM.COM - ----- - - The rest of the NFS gateway configurations are optional for both secure and non-secure mode. - - The AIX NFS client has a {{{https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6549}few known issues}} - that prevent it from working correctly by default with the HDFS NFS - Gateway. If you want to be able to access the HDFS NFS Gateway from AIX, you - should set the following configuration setting to enable work-arounds for these - issues: - ----- - - nfs.aix.compatibility.mode.enabled - true - ----- - - Note that regular, non-AIX clients should NOT enable AIX compatibility mode. - The work-arounds implemented by AIX compatibility mode effectively disable - safeguards to ensure that listing of directory contents via NFS returns - consistent results, and that all data sent to the NFS server can be assured to - have been committed. - - It's strongly recommended for the users to update a few configuration properties based on their use - cases. All the following configuration properties can be added or updated in hdfs-site.xml. - - * If the client mounts the export with access time update allowed, make sure the following - property is not disabled in the configuration file. Only NameNode needs to restart after - this property is changed. On some Unix systems, the user can disable access time update - by mounting the export with "noatime". If the export is mounted with "noatime", the user - doesn't need to change the following property and thus no need to restart namenode. - ----- - - dfs.namenode.accesstime.precision - 3600000 - The access time for HDFS file is precise upto this value. - The default value is 1 hour. Setting a value of 0 disables - access times for HDFS. - - ----- - - * Users are expected to update the file dump directory. NFS client often - reorders writes. Sequential writes can arrive at the NFS gateway at random - order. This directory is used to temporarily save out-of-order writes - before writing to HDFS. For each file, the out-of-order writes are dumped after - they are accumulated to exceed certain threshold (e.g., 1MB) in memory. - One needs to make sure the directory has enough - space. For example, if the application uploads 10 files with each having - 100MB, it is recommended for this directory to have roughly 1GB space in case if a - worst-case write reorder happens to every file. Only NFS gateway needs to restart after - this property is updated. - ----- - - nfs.dump.dir - /tmp/.hdfs-nfs - ----- - - * By default, the export can be mounted by any client. To better control the access, - users can update the following property. The value string contains machine name and - access privilege, separated by whitespace - characters. The machine name format can be a single host, a Java regular expression, or an IPv4 address. The - access privilege uses rw or ro to specify read/write or read-only access of the machines to exports. If the access - privilege is not provided, the default is read-only. Entries are separated by ";". - For example: "192.168.0.0/22 rw ; host.*\.example\.com ; host1.test.org ro;". Only the NFS gateway needs to restart after - this property is updated. - ----- - - nfs.exports.allowed.hosts - * rw - ----- - - * JVM and log settings. You can export JVM settings (e.g., heap size and GC log) in - HADOOP_NFS3_OPTS. More NFS related settings can be found in hadoop-env.sh. - To get NFS debug trace, you can edit the log4j.property file - to add the following. Note, debug trace, especially for ONCRPC, can be very verbose. - - To change logging level: - ------------------------------------------------ - log4j.logger.org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.nfs=DEBUG ------------------------------------------------ - - To get more details of ONCRPC requests: - ------------------------------------------------ - log4j.logger.org.apache.hadoop.oncrpc=DEBUG ------------------------------------------------ - - -* {Start and stop NFS gateway service} - - Three daemons are required to provide NFS service: rpcbind (or portmap), mountd and nfsd. - The NFS gateway process has both nfsd and mountd. It shares the HDFS root "/" as the - only export. It is recommended to use the portmap included in NFS gateway package. Even - though NFS gateway works with portmap/rpcbind provide by most Linux distributions, the - package included portmap is needed on some Linux systems such as REHL6.2 due to an - {{{https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=731542}rpcbind bug}}. More detailed discussions can - be found in {{{https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4763}HDFS-4763}}. - - [[1]] Stop nfsv3 and rpcbind/portmap services provided by the platform (commands can be different on various Unix platforms): - -------------------------- -[root]> service nfs stop -[root]> service rpcbind stop -------------------------- - - [[2]] Start Hadoop's portmap (needs root privileges): - -------------------------- -[root]> $HADOOP_PREFIX/bin/hdfs --daemon start portmap -------------------------- - - [[3]] Start mountd and nfsd. - - No root privileges are required for this command. In non-secure mode, the NFS gateway - should be started by the proxy user mentioned at the beginning of this user guide. - While in secure mode, any user can start NFS gateway - as long as the user has read access to the Kerberos keytab defined in "nfs.keytab.file". - -------------------------- -[hdfs]$ $HADOOP_PREFIX/bin/hdfs --daemon start nfs3 -------------------------- - - [[4]] Stop NFS gateway services. - -------------------------- -[hdfs]$ $HADOOP_PREFIX/bin/hdfs --daemon stop nfs3 -[root]> $HADOOP_PREFIX/bin/hdfs --daemon stop portmap -------------------------- - - Optionally, you can forgo running the Hadoop-provided portmap daemon and - instead use the system portmap daemon on all operating systems if you start the - NFS Gateway as root. This will allow the HDFS NFS Gateway to work around the - aforementioned bug and still register using the system portmap daemon. To do - so, just start the NFS gateway daemon as you normally would, but make sure to - do so as the "root" user, and also set the "HADOOP_PRIVILEGED_NFS_USER" - environment variable to an unprivileged user. In this mode the NFS Gateway will - start as root to perform its initial registration with the system portmap, and - then will drop privileges back to the user specified by the - HADOOP_PRIVILEGED_NFS_USER afterward and for the rest of the duration of the - lifetime of the NFS Gateway process. Note that if you choose this route, you - should skip steps 1 and 2 above. - - -* {Verify validity of NFS related services} - - [[1]] Execute the following command to verify if all the services are up and running: - -------------------------- -[root]> rpcinfo -p $nfs_server_ip -------------------------- - - You should see output similar to the following: - -------------------------- - program vers proto port - - 100005 1 tcp 4242 mountd - - 100005 2 udp 4242 mountd - - 100005 2 tcp 4242 mountd - - 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper - - 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper - - 100005 3 udp 4242 mountd - - 100005 1 udp 4242 mountd - - 100003 3 tcp 2049 nfs - - 100005 3 tcp 4242 mountd -------------------------- - - [[2]] Verify if the HDFS namespace is exported and can be mounted. - -------------------------- -[root]> showmount -e $nfs_server_ip -------------------------- - - You should see output similar to the following: - -------------------------- - Exports list on $nfs_server_ip : - - / (everyone) -------------------------- - - -* {Mount the export “/”} - - Currently NFS v3 only uses TCP as the transportation protocol. - NLM is not supported so mount option "nolock" is needed. It's recommended to use - hard mount. This is because, even after the client sends all data to - NFS gateway, it may take NFS gateway some extra time to transfer data to HDFS - when writes were reorderd by NFS client Kernel. - - If soft mount has to be used, the user should give it a relatively - long timeout (at least no less than the default timeout on the host) . - - The users can mount the HDFS namespace as shown below: - -------------------------------------------------------------------- - [root]>mount -t nfs -o vers=3,proto=tcp,nolock,noacl $server:/ $mount_point -------------------------------------------------------------------- - - Then the users can access HDFS as part of the local file system except that, - hard link and random write are not supported yet. To optimize the performance - of large file I/O, one can increase the NFS transfer size(rsize and wsize) during mount. - By default, NFS gateway supports 1MB as the maximum transfer size. For larger data - transfer size, one needs to update "nfs.rtmax" and "nfs.rtmax" in hdfs-site.xml. - -* {Allow mounts from unprivileged clients} - - In environments where root access on client machines is not generally - available, some measure of security can be obtained by ensuring that only NFS - clients originating from privileged ports can connect to the NFS server. This - feature is referred to as "port monitoring." This feature is not enabled by default - in the HDFS NFS Gateway, but can be optionally enabled by setting the - following config in hdfs-site.xml on the NFS Gateway machine: - -------------------------------------------------------------------- - - nfs.port.monitoring.disabled - false - -------------------------------------------------------------------- - -* {User authentication and mapping} - - NFS gateway in this release uses AUTH_UNIX style authentication. When the user on NFS client - accesses the mount point, NFS client passes the UID to NFS gateway. - NFS gateway does a lookup to find user name from the UID, and then passes the - username to the HDFS along with the HDFS requests. - For example, if the NFS client has current user as "admin", when the user accesses - the mounted directory, NFS gateway will access HDFS as user "admin". To access HDFS - as the user "hdfs", one needs to switch the current user to "hdfs" on the client system - when accessing the mounted directory. - - The system administrator must ensure that the user on NFS client host has the same - name and UID as that on the NFS gateway host. This is usually not a problem if - the same user management system (e.g., LDAP/NIS) is used to create and deploy users on - HDFS nodes and NFS client node. In case the user account is created manually on different hosts, one might need to - modify UID (e.g., do "usermod -u 123 myusername") on either NFS client or NFS gateway host - in order to make it the same on both sides. More technical details of RPC AUTH_UNIX can be found - in {{{http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1057}RPC specification}}. - - Optionally, the system administrator can configure a custom static mapping - file in the event one wishes to access the HDFS NFS Gateway from a system with - a completely disparate set of UIDs/GIDs. By default this file is located at - "/etc/nfs.map", but a custom location can be configured by setting the - "static.id.mapping.file" property to the path of the static mapping file. - The format of the static mapping file is similar to what is described in the - exports(5) manual page, but roughly it is: - -------------------------- -# Mapping for clients accessing the NFS gateway -uid 10 100 # Map the remote UID 10 the local UID 100 -gid 11 101 # Map the remote GID 11 to the local GID 101 -------------------------- diff --git a/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/src/site/apt/HdfsPermissionsGuide.apt.vm b/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/src/site/apt/HdfsPermissionsGuide.apt.vm deleted file mode 100644 index 30119a6093a..00000000000 --- a/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/src/site/apt/HdfsPermissionsGuide.apt.vm +++ /dev/null @@ -1,438 +0,0 @@ -~~ Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); -~~ you may not use this file except in compliance with the License. -~~ You may obtain a copy of the License at -~~ -~~ http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 -~~ -~~ Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, software -~~ distributed under the License is distributed on an "AS IS" BASIS, -~~ WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied. -~~ See the License for the specific language governing permissions and -~~ limitations under the License. See accompanying LICENSE file. - - --- - HDFS Permissions Guide - --- - --- - ${maven.build.timestamp} - -HDFS Permissions Guide - -%{toc|section=1|fromDepth=0} - -* Overview - - The Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) implements a permissions - model for files and directories that shares much of the POSIX model. - Each file and directory is associated with an owner and a group. The - file or directory has separate permissions for the user that is the - owner, for other users that are members of the group, and for all other - users. For files, the r permission is required to read the file, and - the w permission is required to write or append to the file. For - directories, the r permission is required to list the contents of the - directory, the w permission is required to create or delete files or - directories, and the x permission is required to access a child of the - directory. - - In contrast to the POSIX model, there are no setuid or setgid bits for - files as there is no notion of executable files. For directories, there - are no setuid or setgid bits directory as a simplification. The Sticky - bit can be set on directories, preventing anyone except the superuser, - directory owner or file owner from deleting or moving the files within - the directory. Setting the sticky bit for a file has no effect. - Collectively, the permissions of a file or directory are its mode. In - general, Unix customs for representing and displaying modes will be - used, including the use of octal numbers in this description. When a - file or directory is created, its owner is the user identity of the - client process, and its group is the group of the parent directory (the - BSD rule). - - HDFS also provides optional support for POSIX ACLs (Access Control Lists) to - augment file permissions with finer-grained rules for specific named users or - named groups. ACLs are discussed in greater detail later in this document. - - Each client process that accesses HDFS has a two-part identity composed - of the user name, and groups list. Whenever HDFS must do a permissions - check for a file or directory foo accessed by a client process, - - * If the user name matches the owner of foo, then the owner - permissions are tested; - - * Else if the group of foo matches any of member of the groups list, - then the group permissions are tested; - - * Otherwise the other permissions of foo are tested. - - If a permissions check fails, the client operation fails. - -* User Identity - - As of Hadoop 0.22, Hadoop supports two different modes of operation to - determine the user's identity, specified by the - hadoop.security.authentication property: - - * <> - - In this mode of operation, the identity of a client process is - determined by the host operating system. On Unix-like systems, - the user name is the equivalent of `whoami`. - - * <> - - In Kerberized operation, the identity of a client process is - determined by its Kerberos credentials. For example, in a - Kerberized environment, a user may use the kinit utility to - obtain a Kerberos ticket-granting-ticket (TGT) and use klist to - determine their current principal. When mapping a Kerberos - principal to an HDFS username, all components except for the - primary are dropped. For example, a principal - todd/foobar@CORP.COMPANY.COM will act as the simple username - todd on HDFS. - - Regardless of the mode of operation, the user identity mechanism is - extrinsic to HDFS itself. There is no provision within HDFS for - creating user identities, establishing groups, or processing user - credentials. - -* Group Mapping - - Once a username has been determined as described above, the list of - groups is determined by a group mapping service, configured by the - hadoop.security.group.mapping property. The default implementation, - org.apache.hadoop.security.JniBasedUnixGroupsMappingWithFallback, - will determine if the Java Native Interface (JNI) is available. If - JNI is available, the implementation will use the API within hadoop - to resolve a list of groups for a user. If JNI is not available - then the shell implementation, - org.apache.hadoop.security.ShellBasedUnixGroupsMapping, is used. - This implementation shells out with the <<>> - command (for a Linux/Unix environment) or the <<>> - command (for a Windows environment) to resolve a list of groups for - a user. - - An alternate implementation, which connects directly to an LDAP server - to resolve the list of groups, is available via - org.apache.hadoop.security.LdapGroupsMapping. However, this provider - should only be used if the required groups reside exclusively in LDAP, - and are not materialized on the Unix servers. More information on - configuring the group mapping service is available in the Javadocs. - - For HDFS, the mapping of users to groups is performed on the NameNode. - Thus, the host system configuration of the NameNode determines the - group mappings for the users. - - Note that HDFS stores the user and group of a file or directory as - strings; there is no conversion from user and group identity numbers as - is conventional in Unix. - -* Understanding the Implementation - - Each file or directory operation passes the full path name to the name - node, and the permissions checks are applied along the path for each - operation. The client framework will implicitly associate the user - identity with the connection to the name node, reducing the need for - changes to the existing client API. It has always been the case that - when one operation on a file succeeds, the operation might fail when - repeated because the file, or some directory on the path, no longer - exists. For instance, when the client first begins reading a file, it - makes a first request to the name node to discover the location of the - first blocks of the file. A second request made to find additional - blocks may fail. On the other hand, deleting a file does not revoke - access by a client that already knows the blocks of the file. With the - addition of permissions, a client's access to a file may be withdrawn - between requests. Again, changing permissions does not revoke the - access of a client that already knows the file's blocks. - -* Changes to the File System API - - All methods that use a path parameter will throw <<>> - if permission checking fails. - - New methods: - - * <<>> - - * <<>> - - * <<>> - - * <<>> - - * <<>> - - will additionally return the user, group and mode associated with the - path. - - The mode of a new file or directory is restricted my the umask set as a - configuration parameter. When the existing <<>> method - (without the permission parameter) is used, the mode of the new file is - <<<0666 & ^umask>>>. When the new <<>> method - (with the permission parameter P) is used, the mode of the new file is - <<

>>. When a new directory is created with the existing - <<>> - method (without the permission parameter), the mode of the new - directory is <<<0777 & ^umask>>>. When the new <<>> - method (with the permission parameter P) is used, the mode of new - directory is <<

>>. - -* Changes to the Application Shell - - New operations: - - * <<>> - - Only the owner of a file or the super-user is permitted to change - the mode of a file. - - * <<>> - - The user invoking chgrp must belong to the specified group and be - the owner of the file, or be the super-user. - - * <<>> - - The owner of a file may only be altered by a super-user. - - * <<>> - - * <<>> - - The output is reformatted to display the owner, group and mode. - -* The Super-User - - The super-user is the user with the same identity as name node process - itself. Loosely, if you started the name node, then you are the - super-user. The super-user can do anything in that permissions checks - never fail for the super-user. There is no persistent notion of who was - the super-user; when the name node is started the process identity - determines who is the super-user for now. The HDFS super-user does not - have to be the super-user of the name node host, nor is it necessary - that all clusters have the same super-user. Also, an experimenter - running HDFS on a personal workstation, conveniently becomes that - installation's super-user without any configuration. - - In addition, the administrator my identify a distinguished group using - a configuration parameter. If set, members of this group are also - super-users. - -* The Web Server - - By default, the identity of the web server is a configuration - parameter. That is, the name node has no notion of the identity of the - real user, but the web server behaves as if it has the identity (user - and groups) of a user chosen by the administrator. Unless the chosen - identity matches the super-user, parts of the name space may be - inaccessible to the web server. - -* ACLs (Access Control Lists) - - In addition to the traditional POSIX permissions model, HDFS also supports - POSIX ACLs (Access Control Lists). ACLs are useful for implementing - permission requirements that differ from the natural organizational hierarchy - of users and groups. An ACL provides a way to set different permissions for - specific named users or named groups, not only the file's owner and the - file's group. - - By default, support for ACLs is disabled, and the NameNode disallows creation - of ACLs. To enable support for ACLs, set <<>> to - true in the NameNode configuration. - - An ACL consists of a set of ACL entries. Each ACL entry names a specific - user or group and grants or denies read, write and execute permissions for - that specific user or group. For example: - -+-- - user::rw- - user:bruce:rwx #effective:r-- - group::r-x #effective:r-- - group:sales:rwx #effective:r-- - mask::r-- - other::r-- -+-- - - ACL entries consist of a type, an optional name and a permission string. - For display purposes, ':' is used as the delimiter between each field. In - this example ACL, the file owner has read-write access, the file group has - read-execute access and others have read access. So far, this is equivalent - to setting the file's permission bits to 654. - - Additionally, there are 2 extended ACL entries for the named user bruce and - the named group sales, both granted full access. The mask is a special ACL - entry that filters the permissions granted to all named user entries and - named group entries, and also the unnamed group entry. In the example, the - mask has only read permissions, and we can see that the effective permissions - of several ACL entries have been filtered accordingly. - - Every ACL must have a mask. If the user doesn't supply a mask while setting - an ACL, then a mask is inserted automatically by calculating the union of - permissions on all entries that would be filtered by the mask. - - Running <<>> on a file that has an ACL actually changes the - permissions of the mask. Since the mask acts as a filter, this effectively - constrains the permissions of all extended ACL entries instead of changing - just the group entry and possibly missing other extended ACL entries. - - The model also differentiates between an "access ACL", which defines the - rules to enforce during permission checks, and a "default ACL", which defines - the ACL entries that new child files or sub-directories receive automatically - during creation. For example: - -+-- - user::rwx - group::r-x - other::r-x - default:user::rwx - default:user:bruce:rwx #effective:r-x - default:group::r-x - default:group:sales:rwx #effective:r-x - default:mask::r-x - default:other::r-x -+-- - - Only directories may have a default ACL. When a new file or sub-directory is - created, it automatically copies the default ACL of its parent into its own - access ACL. A new sub-directory also copies it to its own default ACL. In - this way, the default ACL will be copied down through arbitrarily deep levels - of the file system tree as new sub-directories get created. - - The exact permission values in the new child's access ACL are subject to - filtering by the mode parameter. Considering the default umask of 022, this - is typically 755 for new directories and 644 for new files. The mode - parameter filters the copied permission values for the unnamed user (file - owner), the mask and other. Using this particular example ACL, and creating - a new sub-directory with 755 for the mode, this mode filtering has no effect - on the final result. However, if we consider creation of a file with 644 for - the mode, then mode filtering causes the new file's ACL to receive read-write - for the unnamed user (file owner), read for the mask and read for others. - This mask also means that effective permissions for named user bruce and - named group sales are only read. - - Note that the copy occurs at time of creation of the new file or - sub-directory. Subsequent changes to the parent's default ACL do not change - existing children. - - The default ACL must have all minimum required ACL entries, including the - unnamed user (file owner), unnamed group (file group) and other entries. If - the user doesn't supply one of these entries while setting a default ACL, - then the entries are inserted automatically by copying the corresponding - permissions from the access ACL, or permission bits if there is no access - ACL. The default ACL also must have mask. As described above, if the mask - is unspecified, then a mask is inserted automatically by calculating the - union of permissions on all entries that would be filtered by the mask. - - When considering a file that has an ACL, the algorithm for permission checks - changes to: - - * If the user name matches the owner of file, then the owner - permissions are tested; - - * Else if the user name matches the name in one of the named user entries, - then these permissions are tested, filtered by the mask permissions; - - * Else if the group of file matches any member of the groups list, - and if these permissions filtered by the mask grant access, then these - permissions are used; - - * Else if there is a named group entry matching a member of the groups list, - and if these permissions filtered by the mask grant access, then these - permissions are used; - - * Else if the file group or any named group entry matches a member of the - groups list, but access was not granted by any of those permissions, then - access is denied; - - * Otherwise the other permissions of file are tested. - - Best practice is to rely on traditional permission bits to implement most - permission requirements, and define a smaller number of ACLs to augment the - permission bits with a few exceptional rules. A file with an ACL incurs an - additional cost in memory in the NameNode compared to a file that has only - permission bits. - -* ACLs File System API - - New methods: - - * << aclSpec) throws - IOException;>>> - - * << aclSpec) throws - IOException;>>> - - * <<>> - - * <<>> - - * << aclSpec) throws - IOException;>>> - - * <<>> - -* ACLs Shell Commands - - * << >>> - - Displays the Access Control Lists (ACLs) of files and directories. If a - directory has a default ACL, then getfacl also displays the default ACL. - - * <<} ]|[--set ] >>> - - Sets Access Control Lists (ACLs) of files and directories. - - * << >>> - - The output of <<>> will append a '+' character to the permissions - string of any file or directory that has an ACL. - - See the {{{../hadoop-common/FileSystemShell.html}File System Shell}} - documentation for full coverage of these commands. - -* Configuration Parameters - - * <<>> - - If yes use the permissions system as described here. If no, - permission checking is turned off, but all other behavior is - unchanged. Switching from one parameter value to the other does not - change the mode, owner or group of files or directories. - Regardless of whether permissions are on or off, chmod, chgrp, chown and - setfacl always check permissions. These functions are only useful in - the permissions context, and so there is no backwards compatibility - issue. Furthermore, this allows administrators to reliably set - owners and permissions in advance of turning on regular permissions - checking. - - * <<>> - - The user name to be used by the web server. Setting this to the - name of the super-user allows any web client to see everything. - Changing this to an otherwise unused identity allows web clients to - see only those things visible using "other" permissions.

While HDFS is - designed to "just work" in many environments, a working knowledge of - HDFS helps greatly with configuration improvements and diagnostics on a - specific cluster. - -* Overview - - HDFS is the primary distributed storage used by Hadoop applications. A - HDFS cluster primarily consists of a NameNode that manages the file - system metadata and DataNodes that store the actual data. The HDFS - Architecture Guide describes HDFS in detail. This user guide primarily - deals with the interaction of users and administrators with HDFS - clusters. The HDFS architecture diagram depicts basic interactions - among NameNode, the DataNodes, and the clients. Clients contact - NameNode for file metadata or file modifications and perform actual - file I/O directly with the DataNodes. - - The following are some of the salient features that could be of - interest to many users. - - * Hadoop, including HDFS, is well suited for distributed storage and - distributed processing using commodity hardware. It is fault - tolerant, scalable, and extremely simple to expand. MapReduce, well - known for its simplicity and applicability for large set of - distributed applications, is an integral part of Hadoop. - - * HDFS is highly configurable with a default configuration well - suited for many installations. Most of the time, configuration - needs to be tuned only for very large clusters. - - * Hadoop is written in Java and is supported on all major platforms. - - * Hadoop supports shell-like commands to interact with HDFS directly. - - * The NameNode and Datanodes have built in web servers that makes it - easy to check current status of the cluster. - - * New features and improvements are regularly implemented in HDFS. - The following is a subset of useful features in HDFS: - - * File permissions and authentication. - - * Rack awareness: to take a node's physical location into - account while scheduling tasks and allocating storage. - - * Safemode: an administrative mode for maintenance. - - * <<>>: a utility to diagnose health of the file system, to find - missing files or blocks. - - * <<>>: a utility to fetch DelegationToken and store it in a - file on the local system. - - * Balancer: tool to balance the cluster when the data is - unevenly distributed among DataNodes. - - * Upgrade and rollback: after a software upgrade, it is possible - to rollback to HDFS' state before the upgrade in case of - unexpected problems. - - * Secondary NameNode: performs periodic checkpoints of the - namespace and helps keep the size of file containing log of - HDFS modifications within certain limits at the NameNode. - - * Checkpoint node: performs periodic checkpoints of the - namespace and helps minimize the size of the log stored at the - NameNode containing changes to the HDFS. Replaces the role - previously filled by the Secondary NameNode, though is not yet - battle hardened. The NameNode allows multiple Checkpoint nodes - simultaneously, as long as there are no Backup nodes - registered with the system. - - * Backup node: An extension to the Checkpoint node. In addition - to checkpointing it also receives a stream of edits from the - NameNode and maintains its own in-memory copy of the - namespace, which is always in sync with the active NameNode - namespace state. Only one Backup node may be registered with - the NameNode at once. - -* Prerequisites - - The following documents describe how to install and set up a Hadoop - cluster: - - * {{{../hadoop-common/SingleCluster.html}Single Node Setup}} - for first-time users. - - * {{{../hadoop-common/ClusterSetup.html}Cluster Setup}} - for large, distributed clusters. - - The rest of this document assumes the user is able to set up and run a - HDFS with at least one DataNode. For the purpose of this document, both - the NameNode and DataNode could be running on the same physical - machine. - -* Web Interface - - NameNode and DataNode each run an internal web server in order to - display basic information about the current status of the cluster. With - the default configuration, the NameNode front page is at - <<>>. It lists the DataNodes in the cluster and - basic statistics of the cluster. The web interface can also be used to - browse the file system (using "Browse the file system" link on the - NameNode front page). - -* Shell Commands - - Hadoop includes various shell-like commands that directly interact with - HDFS and other file systems that Hadoop supports. The command <<>> - lists the commands supported by Hadoop shell. Furthermore, - the command <<>> displays more detailed help - for a command. These commands support most of the normal files system - operations like copying files, changing file permissions, etc. It also - supports a few HDFS specific operations like changing replication of - files. For more information see {{{../hadoop-common/FileSystemShell.html} - File System Shell Guide}}. - -** DFSAdmin Command - - The <<>> command supports a few HDFS administration - related operations. The <<>> command lists all the - commands currently supported. For e.g.: - - * <<<-report>>>: reports basic statistics of HDFS. Some of this - information is also available on the NameNode front page. - - * <<<-safemode>>>: though usually not required, an administrator can - manually enter or leave Safemode. - - * <<<-finalizeUpgrade>>>: removes previous backup of the cluster made - during last upgrade. - - * <<<-refreshNodes>>>: Updates the namenode with the set of datanodes - allowed to connect to the namenode. Namenodes re-read datanode - hostnames in the file defined by <<>>, <<>>. - Hosts defined in <<>> are the datanodes that are part of the - cluster. If there are entries in <<>>, only the hosts in it - are allowed to register with the namenode. Entries in - <<>> are datanodes that need to be decommissioned. - Datanodes complete decommissioning when all the replicas from them - are replicated to other datanodes. Decommissioned nodes are not - automatically shutdown and are not chosen for writing for new - replicas. - - * <<<-printTopology>>> : Print the topology of the cluster. Display a tree - of racks and datanodes attached to the tracks as viewed by the - NameNode. - - For command usage, see {{{./HDFSCommands.html#dfsadmin}dfsadmin}}. - -* Secondary NameNode - - The NameNode stores modifications to the file system as a log appended - to a native file system file, edits. When a NameNode starts up, it - reads HDFS state from an image file, fsimage, and then applies edits - from the edits log file. It then writes new HDFS state to the fsimage - and starts normal operation with an empty edits file. Since NameNode - merges fsimage and edits files only during start up, the edits log file - could get very large over time on a busy cluster. Another side effect - of a larger edits file is that next restart of NameNode takes longer. - - The secondary NameNode merges the fsimage and the edits log files - periodically and keeps edits log size within a limit. It is usually run - on a different machine than the primary NameNode since its memory - requirements are on the same order as the primary NameNode. - - The start of the checkpoint process on the secondary NameNode is - controlled by two configuration parameters. - - * <<>>, set to 1 hour by default, specifies - the maximum delay between two consecutive checkpoints, and - - * <<>>, set to 1 million by default, defines the - number of uncheckpointed transactions on the NameNode which will - force an urgent checkpoint, even if the checkpoint period has not - been reached. - - The secondary NameNode stores the latest checkpoint in a directory - which is structured the same way as the primary NameNode's directory. - So that the check pointed image is always ready to be read by the - primary NameNode if necessary. - - For command usage, - see {{{./HDFSCommands.html#secondarynamenode}secondarynamenode}}. - -* Checkpoint Node - - NameNode persists its namespace using two files: fsimage, which is the - latest checkpoint of the namespace and edits, a journal (log) of - changes to the namespace since the checkpoint. When a NameNode starts - up, it merges the fsimage and edits journal to provide an up-to-date - view of the file system metadata. The NameNode then overwrites fsimage - with the new HDFS state and begins a new edits journal. - - The Checkpoint node periodically creates checkpoints of the namespace. - It downloads fsimage and edits from the active NameNode, merges them - locally, and uploads the new image back to the active NameNode. The - Checkpoint node usually runs on a different machine than the NameNode - since its memory requirements are on the same order as the NameNode. - The Checkpoint node is started by bin/hdfs namenode -checkpoint on the - node specified in the configuration file. - - The location of the Checkpoint (or Backup) node and its accompanying - web interface are configured via the <<>> and - <<>> configuration variables. - - The start of the checkpoint process on the Checkpoint node is - controlled by two configuration parameters. - - * <<>>, set to 1 hour by default, specifies - the maximum delay between two consecutive checkpoints - - * <<>>, set to 1 million by default, defines the - number of uncheckpointed transactions on the NameNode which will - force an urgent checkpoint, even if the checkpoint period has not - been reached. - - The Checkpoint node stores the latest checkpoint in a directory that is - structured the same as the NameNode's directory. This allows the - checkpointed image to be always available for reading by the NameNode - if necessary. See Import checkpoint. - - Multiple checkpoint nodes may be specified in the cluster configuration - file. - - For command usage, see {{{./HDFSCommands.html#namenode}namenode}}. - -* Backup Node - - The Backup node provides the same checkpointing functionality as the - Checkpoint node, as well as maintaining an in-memory, up-to-date copy - of the file system namespace that is always synchronized with the - active NameNode state. Along with accepting a journal stream of file - system edits from the NameNode and persisting this to disk, the Backup - node also applies those edits into its own copy of the namespace in - memory, thus creating a backup of the namespace. - - The Backup node does not need to download fsimage and edits files from - the active NameNode in order to create a checkpoint, as would be - required with a Checkpoint node or Secondary NameNode, since it already - has an up-to-date state of the namespace state in memory. The Backup - node checkpoint process is more efficient as it only needs to save the - namespace into the local fsimage file and reset edits. - - As the Backup node maintains a copy of the namespace in memory, its RAM - requirements are the same as the NameNode. - - The NameNode supports one Backup node at a time. No Checkpoint nodes - may be registered if a Backup node is in use. Using multiple Backup - nodes concurrently will be supported in the future. - - The Backup node is configured in the same manner as the Checkpoint - node. It is started with <<>>. - - The location of the Backup (or Checkpoint) node and its accompanying - web interface are configured via the <<>> and - <<>> configuration variables. - - Use of a Backup node provides the option of running the NameNode with - no persistent storage, delegating all responsibility for persisting the - state of the namespace to the Backup node. To do this, start the - NameNode with the <<<-importCheckpoint>>> option, along with specifying no - persistent storage directories of type edits <<>> for - the NameNode configuration. - - For a complete discussion of the motivation behind the creation of the - Backup node and Checkpoint node, see {{{https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4539}HADOOP-4539}}. - For command usage, see {{{./HDFSCommands.html#namenode}namenode}}. - -* Import Checkpoint - - The latest checkpoint can be imported to the NameNode if all other - copies of the image and the edits files are lost. In order to do that - one should: - - * Create an empty directory specified in the <<>> - configuration variable; - - * Specify the location of the checkpoint directory in the - configuration variable <<>>; - - * and start the NameNode with <<<-importCheckpoint>>> option. - - The NameNode will upload the checkpoint from the - <<>> directory and then save it to the NameNode - directory(s) set in <<>>. The NameNode will fail if a - legal image is contained in <<>>. The NameNode - verifies that the image in <<>> is consistent, - but does not modify it in any way. - - For command usage, see {{{./HDFSCommands.html#namenode}namenode}}. - -* Balancer - - HDFS data might not always be be placed uniformly across the DataNode. - One common reason is addition of new DataNodes to an existing cluster. - While placing new blocks (data for a file is stored as a series of - blocks), NameNode considers various parameters before choosing the - DataNodes to receive these blocks. Some of the considerations are: - - * Policy to keep one of the replicas of a block on the same node as - the node that is writing the block. - - * Need to spread different replicas of a block across the racks so - that cluster can survive loss of whole rack. - - * One of the replicas is usually placed on the same rack as the node - writing to the file so that cross-rack network I/O is reduced. - - * Spread HDFS data uniformly across the DataNodes in the cluster. - - Due to multiple competing considerations, data might not be uniformly - placed across the DataNodes. HDFS provides a tool for administrators - that analyzes block placement and rebalanaces data across the DataNode. - A brief administrator's guide for balancer is available at - {{{https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1652}HADOOP-1652}}. - - For command usage, see {{{./HDFSCommands.html#balancer}balancer}}. - -* Rack Awareness - - Typically large Hadoop clusters are arranged in racks and network - traffic between different nodes with in the same rack is much more - desirable than network traffic across the racks. In addition NameNode - tries to place replicas of block on multiple racks for improved fault - tolerance. Hadoop lets the cluster administrators decide which rack a - node belongs to through configuration variable - <<>>. When this script is configured, each - node runs the script to determine its rack id. A default installation - assumes all the nodes belong to the same rack. This feature and - configuration is further described in PDF attached to - {{{https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-692}HADOOP-692}}. - -* Safemode - - During start up the NameNode loads the file system state from the - fsimage and the edits log file. It then waits for DataNodes to report - their blocks so that it does not prematurely start replicating the - blocks though enough replicas already exist in the cluster. During this - time NameNode stays in Safemode. Safemode for the NameNode is - essentially a read-only mode for the HDFS cluster, where it does not - allow any modifications to file system or blocks. Normally the NameNode - leaves Safemode automatically after the DataNodes have reported that - most file system blocks are available. If required, HDFS could be - placed in Safemode explicitly using <<>> - command. NameNode front page shows whether Safemode is on or off. A - more detailed description and configuration is maintained as JavaDoc - for <<>>. - -* fsck - - HDFS supports the fsck command to check for various inconsistencies. It - it is designed for reporting problems with various files, for example, - missing blocks for a file or under-replicated blocks. Unlike a - traditional fsck utility for native file systems, this command does not - correct the errors it detects. Normally NameNode automatically corrects - most of the recoverable failures. By default fsck ignores open files - but provides an option to select all files during reporting. The HDFS - fsck command is not a Hadoop shell command. It can be run as - <<>>. For command usage, see - {{{./HDFSCommands.html#fsck}fsck}}. fsck can be run on - the whole file system or on a subset of files. - -* fetchdt - - HDFS supports the fetchdt command to fetch Delegation Token and store - it in a file on the local system. This token can be later used to - access secure server (NameNode for example) from a non secure client. - Utility uses either RPC or HTTPS (over Kerberos) to get the token, and - thus requires kerberos tickets to be present before the run (run kinit - to get the tickets). The HDFS fetchdt command is not a Hadoop shell - command. It can be run as <<>>. After you got - the token you can run an HDFS command without having Kerberos tickets, - by pointing <<>> environmental variable to the - delegation token file. For command usage, see - {{{./HDFSCommands.html#fetchdt}fetchdt}} command. - -* Recovery Mode - - Typically, you will configure multiple metadata storage locations. - Then, if one storage location is corrupt, you can read the metadata - from one of the other storage locations. - - However, what can you do if the only storage locations available are - corrupt? In this case, there is a special NameNode startup mode called - Recovery mode that may allow you to recover most of your data. - - You can start the NameNode in recovery mode like so: <<>> - - When in recovery mode, the NameNode will interactively prompt you at - the command line about possible courses of action you can take to - recover your data. - - If you don't want to be prompted, you can give the <<<-force>>> option. This - option will force recovery mode to always select the first choice. - Normally, this will be the most reasonable choice. - - Because Recovery mode can cause you to lose data, you should always - back up your edit log and fsimage before using it. - -* Upgrade and Rollback - - When Hadoop is upgraded on an existing cluster, as with any software - upgrade, it is possible there are new bugs or incompatible changes that - affect existing applications and were not discovered earlier. In any - non-trivial HDFS installation, it is not an option to loose any data, - let alone to restart HDFS from scratch. HDFS allows administrators to - go back to earlier version of Hadoop and rollback the cluster to the - state it was in before the upgrade. HDFS upgrade is described in more - detail in {{{http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hadoop_Upgrade}Hadoop Upgrade}} - Wiki page. HDFS can have one such backup at a time. Before upgrading, - administrators need to remove existing backup using bin/hadoop dfsadmin - <<<-finalizeUpgrade>>> command. The following briefly describes the - typical upgrade procedure: - - * Before upgrading Hadoop software, finalize if there an existing - backup. <<>> status can tell if the cluster - needs to be finalized. - - * Stop the cluster and distribute new version of Hadoop. - - * Run the new version with <<<-upgrade>>> option (<<>>). - - * Most of the time, cluster works just fine. Once the new HDFS is - considered working well (may be after a few days of operation), - finalize the upgrade. Note that until the cluster is finalized, - deleting the files that existed before the upgrade does not free up - real disk space on the DataNodes. - - * If there is a need to move back to the old version, - - * stop the cluster and distribute earlier version of Hadoop. - - * start the cluster with rollback option. (<<>>). - - When upgrading to a new version of HDFS, it is necessary to rename or - delete any paths that are reserved in the new version of HDFS. If the - NameNode encounters a reserved path during upgrade, it will print an - error like the following: - - <<< /.reserved is a reserved path and .snapshot is a - reserved path component in this version of HDFS. Please rollback and delete - or rename this path, or upgrade with the -renameReserved [key-value pairs] - option to automatically rename these paths during upgrade.>>> - - Specifying <<<-upgrade -renameReserved [optional key-value pairs]>>> causes - the NameNode to automatically rename any reserved paths found during - startup. For example, to rename all paths named <<<.snapshot>>> to - <<<.my-snapshot>>> and <<<.reserved>>> to <<<.my-reserved>>>, a user would - specify <<<-upgrade -renameReserved - .snapshot=.my-snapshot,.reserved=.my-reserved>>>. - - If no key-value pairs are specified with <<<-renameReserved>>>, the - NameNode will then suffix reserved paths with - <<<..UPGRADE_RENAMED>>>, e.g. - <<<.snapshot.-51.UPGRADE_RENAMED>>>. - - There are some caveats to this renaming process. It's recommended, - if possible, to first <<>> before upgrading. - This is because data inconsistency can result if an edit log operation - refers to the destination of an automatically renamed file. - -* DataNode Hot Swap Drive - - Datanode supports hot swappable drives. The user can add or replace HDFS data - volumes without shutting down the DataNode. The following briefly describes - the typical hot swapping drive procedure: - - * If there are new storage directories, the user should format them and mount them - appropriately. - - * The user updates the DataNode configuration <<>> - to reflect the data volume directories that will be actively in use. - - * The user runs <<>> to start - the reconfiguration process. The user can use <<>> to query the running status of the reconfiguration - task. - - * Once the reconfiguration task has completed, the user can safely <<>> - the removed data volume directories and physically remove the disks. - -* File Permissions and Security - - The file permissions are designed to be similar to file permissions on - other familiar platforms like Linux. Currently, security is limited to - simple file permissions. The user that starts NameNode is treated as - the superuser for HDFS. Future versions of HDFS will support network - authentication protocols like Kerberos for user authentication and - encryption of data transfers. The details are discussed in the - Permissions Guide. - -* Scalability - - Hadoop currently runs on clusters with thousands of nodes. The - {{{http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/PoweredBy}PoweredBy}} Wiki page lists - some of the organizations that deploy Hadoop on large clusters. - HDFS has one NameNode for each cluster. Currently the total memory - available on NameNode is the primary scalability limitation. - On very large clusters, increasing average size of files stored in - HDFS helps with increasing cluster size without increasing memory - requirements on NameNode. The default configuration may not suite - very large clusters. The {{{http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/FAQ}FAQ}} - Wiki page lists suggested configuration improvements for large Hadoop clusters. - -* Related Documentation - - This user guide is a good starting point for working with HDFS. While - the user guide continues to improve, there is a large wealth of - documentation about Hadoop and HDFS. The following list is a starting - point for further exploration: - - * {{{http://hadoop.apache.org}Hadoop Site}}: The home page for - the Apache Hadoop site. - - * {{{http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/FrontPage}Hadoop Wiki}}: - The home page (FrontPage) for the Hadoop Wiki.

The user can generate different - mixes of read, write, and list requests by specifying the probabilities - of read and write. The user controls the intensity of the load by - adjusting parameters for the number of worker threads and the delay - between operations. While load generators are running, the user can - profile and monitor the running of the NameNode. When a load generator - exits, it prints some NameNode statistics like the average execution - time of each kind of operation and the NameNode throughput. - -* Synopsis - - The synopsis of the command is: - ----- - java LoadGenerator [options] ----- - - Options include: - - * <<<-readProbability>>> - - The probability of the read operation; default is 0.3333. - - * <<<-writeProbability>>> - - The probability of the write operations; default is 0.3333. - - * <<<-root>>> - - The root of the test space; default is /testLoadSpace. - - * <<<-maxDelayBetweenOps>>> - - The maximum delay between two consecutive operations in a thread; - default is 0 indicating no delay. - - * <<<-numOfThreads>>> - - The number of threads to spawn; default is 200. - - * <<<-elapsedTime>>> - - The number of seconds that the program will run; A value of zero - indicates that the program runs forever.

It then waits until the start time to - spawn the number of worker threads as specified by the user. Each - thread sends a stream of requests to NameNode. At each iteration, it - first decides if it is going to read a file, create a file, or list a - directory following the read and write probabilities specified by the - user. The listing probability is equal to 1-read probability-write - probability. When reading, it randomly picks a file in the test space - and reads the entire file. When writing, it randomly picks a directory - in the test space and creates a file there. - - To avoid two threads with the same load generator or from two different - load generators creating the same file, the file name consists of the - current machine's host name and the thread id. The length of the file - follows Gaussian distribution with an average size of 2 blocks and the - standard deviation of 1. The new file is filled with byte 'a'. To avoid - the test space growing indefinitely, the file is deleted immediately - after the file creation completes. While listing, it randomly picks a - directory in the test space and lists its content. - - After an operation completes, the thread pauses for a random amount of - time in the range of [0, maxDelayBetweenOps] if the specified maximum - delay is not zero. All threads are stopped when the specified elapsed - time is passed. Before exiting, the program prints the average - execution for each kind of NameNode operations, and the number of - requests served by the NameNode per second. - -* Test Space Population - - The user needs to populate a test space before running a load - generator.

This is the most secure and most flexible approach. The application has ultimate control over what is encrypted and can precisely reflect the requirements of the user. However, writing applications to do this is hard. This is also not an option for customers of existing applications that do not support encryption. - - * <>. Similar to application-level encryption in terms of its properties. Most database vendors offer some form of encryption. However, there can be performance issues. One example is that indexes cannot be encrypted. - - * <>. This option offers high performance, application transparency, and is typically easy to deploy. However, it is unable to model some application-level policies. For instance, multi-tenant applications might want to encrypt based on the end user. A database might want different encryption settings for each column stored within a single file. - - * <>. Easy to deploy and high performance, but also quite inflexible. Only really protects against physical theft. - - HDFS-level encryption fits between database-level and filesystem-level encryption in this stack. This has a lot of positive effects. HDFS encryption is able to provide good performance and existing Hadoop applications are able to run transparently on encrypted data. HDFS also has more context than traditional filesystems when it comes to making policy decisions. - - HDFS-level encryption also prevents attacks at the filesystem-level and below (so-called "OS-level attacks"). The operating system and disk only interact with encrypted bytes, since the data is already encrypted by HDFS. - -* {Use Cases} - - Data encryption is required by a number of different government, financial, and regulatory entities. - For example, the health-care industry has HIPAA regulations, the card payment industry has PCI DSS regulations, and the US government has FISMA regulations. - Having transparent encryption built into HDFS makes it easier for organizations to comply with these regulations. - - Encryption can also be performed at the application-level, but by integrating it into HDFS, existing applications can operate on encrypted data without changes. - This integrated architecture implies stronger encrypted file semantics and better coordination with other HDFS functions. - -* {Architecture} - -** {Overview} - - For transparent encryption, we introduce a new abstraction to HDFS: the . - An encryption zone is a special directory whose contents will be transparently encrypted upon write and transparently decrypted upon read. - Each encryption zone is associated with a single which is specified when the zone is created. - Each file within an encryption zone has its own unique . - DEKs are never handled directly by HDFS. - Instead, HDFS only ever handles an . - Clients decrypt an EDEK, and then use the subsequent DEK to read and write data. - HDFS datanodes simply see a stream of encrypted bytes. - - A new cluster service is required to manage encryption keys: the Hadoop Key Management Server (KMS). - In the context of HDFS encryption, the KMS performs three basic responsibilities: - - [[1]] Providing access to stored encryption zone keys - - [[1]] Generating new encrypted data encryption keys for storage on the NameNode - - [[1]] Decrypting encrypted data encryption keys for use by HDFS clients - - The KMS will be described in more detail below. - -** {Accessing data within an encryption zone} - - When creating a new file in an encryption zone, the NameNode asks the KMS to generate a new EDEK encrypted with the encryption zone's key. - The EDEK is then stored persistently as part of the file's metadata on the NameNode. - - When reading a file within an encryption zone, the NameNode provides the client with the file's EDEK and the encryption zone key version used to encrypt the EDEK. - The client then asks the KMS to decrypt the EDEK, which involves checking that the client has permission to access the encryption zone key version. - Assuming that is successful, the client uses the DEK to decrypt the file's contents. - - All of the above steps for the read and write path happen automatically through interactions between the DFSClient, the NameNode, and the KMS. - - Access to encrypted file data and metadata is controlled by normal HDFS filesystem permissions. - This means that if HDFS is compromised (for example, by gaining unauthorized access to an HDFS superuser account), a malicious user only gains access to ciphertext and encrypted keys. - However, since access to encryption zone keys is controlled by a separate set of permissions on the KMS and key store, this does not pose a security threat. - -** {Key Management Server, KeyProvider, EDEKs} - - The KMS is a proxy that interfaces with a backing key store on behalf of HDFS daemons and clients. - Both the backing key store and the KMS implement the Hadoop KeyProvider API. - See the {{{../../hadoop-kms/index.html}KMS documentation}} for more information. - - In the KeyProvider API, each encryption key has a unique . - Because keys can be rolled, a key can have multiple , where each key version has its own (the actual secret bytes used during encryption and decryption). - An encryption key can be fetched by either its key name, returning the latest version of the key, or by a specific key version. - - The KMS implements additional functionality which enables creation and decryption of . - Creation and decryption of EEKs happens entirely on the KMS. - Importantly, the client requesting creation or decryption of an EEK never handles the EEK's encryption key. - To create a new EEK, the KMS generates a new random key, encrypts it with the specified key, and returns the EEK to the client. - To decrypt an EEK, the KMS checks that the user has access to the encryption key, uses it to decrypt the EEK, and returns the decrypted encryption key. - - In the context of HDFS encryption, EEKs are , where a is what is used to encrypt and decrypt file data. - Typically, the key store is configured to only allow end users access to the keys used to encrypt DEKs. - This means that EDEKs can be safely stored and handled by HDFS, since the HDFS user will not have access to unencrypted encryption keys. - -* {Configuration} - - A necessary prerequisite is an instance of the KMS, as well as a backing key store for the KMS. - See the {{{../../hadoop-kms/index.html}KMS documentation}} for more information. - - Once a KMS has been set up and the NameNode and HDFS clients have been correctly configured, an admin can use the <<>> and <<>> command-line tools to create encryption keys and set up new encryption zones.

- The View File System (ViewFs) provides a way to manage multiple Hadoop file system namespaces (or namespace volumes). - It is particularly useful for clusters having multiple namenodes, and hence multiple namespaces, in {{{./Federation.html}HDFS Federation}}. - ViewFs is analogous to in some Unix/Linux systems. - ViewFs can be used to create personalized namespace views and also per-cluster common views. - - This guide is presented in the context of Hadoop systems that have several clusters, each cluster may be federated into multiple namespaces. - It also describes how to use ViewFs in federated HDFS to provide a per-cluster global namespace so that applications can operate in a way similar to the pre-federation world. - -* The Old World (Prior to Federation) - -** Single Namenode Clusters - - In the old world prior to {{{./Federation.html}HDFS Federation}}, a cluster has a single namenode which provides a single file system namespace for that cluster. - Suppose there are multiple clusters. - The file system namespaces of each cluster are completely independent and disjoint. - Furthermore, physical storage is NOT shared across clusters (i.e. the Datanodes are not shared across clusters.) - - The <<>> of each cluster has a configuration property that sets the default file system to the namenode of that cluster: - -+----------------- - - fs.default.name - hdfs://namenodeOfClusterX:port - -+----------------- - - Such a configuration property allows one to use slash-relative names to resolve paths relative to the cluster namenode. - For example, the path <<>> is referring to <<>> using the above configuration. - - This configuration property is set on each gateway on the clusters and also on key services of that cluster such the JobTracker and Oozie. - -** Pathnames Usage Patterns - - Hence on Cluster X where the <<>> is set as above, the typical pathnames are - - [[1]] <<>> - - * This is equivalent to <<>> as before. - - [[2]] <<>> - - * While this is a valid pathname, one is better using <<>> as it allows the application and its data to be transparently moved to another cluster when needed. - - [[3]] <<>> - - * It is an URI for referring a pathname on another cluster such as Cluster Y. - In particular, the command for copying files from cluster Y to Cluster Z looks like: - -+----------------- -distcp hdfs://namenodeClusterY:port/pathSrc hdfs://namenodeClusterZ:port/pathDest -+----------------- - - [[4]] <<>> and - <<>> - - * These are file system URIs respectively for accessing files via the WebHDFS file system and the HFTP file system. - Note that WebHDFS and HFTP use the HTTP port of the namenode but not the RPC port. - - [[5]] <<>> and - <<>> - - * These are HTTP URLs respectively for accessing files via {{{./WebHDFS.html}WebHDFS REST API}} and HDFS proxy. - -** Pathname Usage Best Practices - - When one is within a cluster, it is recommended to use the pathname of type (1) above instead of a fully qualified URI like (2). - Fully qualified URIs are similar to addresses and do not allow the application to move along with its data. - -* New World – Federation and ViewFs - -** How The Clusters Look - - Suppose there are multiple clusters. - Each cluster has one or more namenodes. - Each namenode has its own namespace. - A namenode belongs to one and only one cluster. - The namenodes in the same cluster share the physical storage of that cluster. - The namespaces across clusters are independent as before. - - Operations decide what is stored on each namenode within a cluster based on the storage needs. - For example, they may put all the user data (<<>>>) in one namenode, all the feed-data (<<>>) in another namenode, all the projects (<<>>) in yet another namenode, etc. - -** A Global Namespace Per Cluster Using ViewFs - - In order to provide transparency with the old world, the ViewFs file system (i.e. client-side mount table) is used to create each cluster an independent cluster namespace view, which is similar to the namespace in the old world. - The client-side mount tables like the Unix mount tables and they mount the new namespace volumes using the old naming convention. - The following figure shows a mount table mounting four namespace volumes <<>>, <<>>, <<>>, and <<>>: - -[./images/viewfs_TypicalMountTable.png] - - ViewFs implements the Hadoop file system interface just like HDFS and the local file system. - It is a trivial file system in the sense that it only allows linking to other file systems. - Because ViewFs implements the Hadoop file system interface, it works transparently Hadoop tools. - For example, all the shell commands work with ViewFs as with HDFS and local file system. - - The mount points of a mount table are specified in the standard Hadoop configuration files. - In the configuration of each cluster, the default file system is set to the mount table for that cluster as shown below (compare it with the configuration in {{Single Namenode Clusters}}). - -+----------------- - - fs.default.name - viewfs://clusterX - -+----------------- - - The authority following the <<>> scheme in the URI is the mount table name. - It is recommanded that the mount table of a cluster should be named by the cluster name. - Then Hadoop system will look for a mount table with the name "clusterX" in the Hadoop configuration files. - Operations arrange all gateways and service machines to contain the mount tables for ALL clusters such that, for each cluster, the default file system is set to the ViewFs mount table for that cluster as described above. - - -** Pathname Usage Patterns - - Hence on Cluster X, where the <<>> is set to make the default fs to use the mount table of that cluster, the typical pathnames are - - [[1]] <<>> - - * This is equivalent to <<>>. - If such pathname is used in the old non-federated world, then the transition to federation world is transparent. - - [[2]] <<>> - - * While this a valid pathname, one is better using <<>> as it allows the application and its data to be transparently moved to another cluster when needed. - - [[3]] <<>> - - * It is an URI for referring a pathname on another cluster such as Cluster Y. - In particular, the command for copying files from cluster Y to Cluster Z looks like: - -+----------------- -distcp viewfs://clusterY:/pathSrc viewfs://clusterZ/pathDest -+----------------- - - [[4]] <<>> and - <<>> - - * These are URIs respectively for accessing files via the WebHDFS file system and the HFTP file system. - - [[5]] <<>> and - <<>> - - * These are HTTP URLs respectively for accessing files via {{{./WebHDFS.html}WebHDFS REST API}} and HDFS proxy. - Note that they are the same as before. - -** Pathname Usage Best Practices - - When one is within a cluster, it is recommended to use the pathname of type (1) above instead of a fully qualified URI like (2). - Futher, applications should not use the knowledge of the mount points and use a path like <<>> to refer to a file in a particular namenode. - One should use <<>> instead. - -** Renaming Pathnames Across Namespaces - - Recall that one cannot rename files or directories across namenodes or clusters in the old world. - The same is true in the new world but with an additional twist. - For example, in the old world one can perform the commend below. - -+----------------- -rename /user/joe/myStuff /data/foo/bar -+----------------- - - This will NOT work in the new world if <<>> and <<>> are actually stored on different namenodes within a cluster. - -** FAQ - - [[1]] <> - - No, you won’t. - See the examples above – you are either using a relative name and taking advantage of the default file system, or changing your path from <<>> to <<>>. - - [[2]] <> - - Operations may move files from one namenode to another in order to deal with storage capacity issues. - They will do this in a way to avoid applications from breaking. - Let's take some examples. - - * Example 1: - <<>> and <<>> were on one namenode and later they need to be on separate namenodes to deal with capacity issues. - Indeed, operations would have created separate mount points for <<>> and <<>>. - Prior to the change the mounts for <<>> and <<>> would have pointed to the same namenode, say <<>>. - Operations will update the mount tables so that the mount points are changed to <<>> and <<>>, respectively. - - * Example 2: - All projects were fitted on one namenode and but later they need two or more namenodes. ViewFs allows mounts like <<>> and <<>>. - This allows mount tables to be updated to point to the corresponding namenode. - - [[3]] <> <<>> <> - - The plan is to keep the mount tables in separate files and have the <<>> {{{http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude}xincluding}} it. - While one can keep these files on each machine locally, it is better to use HTTP to access it from a central location. - - [[4]] <> - - The configuration should have the mount definitions for all clusters since one needs to have access to data in other clusters such as with distcp. - - [[5]] <> - - The mount table is read when the job is submitted to the cluster. - The <<>> in <<>> is expanded at job submission time. - This means that if the mount table are changed then the jobs need to be resubmitted. - Due to this reason, we want to implement merge-mount which will greatly reduce the need to change mount tables. - Further, we would like to read the mount tables via another mechanism that is initialized at job start time in the future. - - [[6]] <> - - No, it does not need to. - Neither does the NodeManager. - - [[7]] <> - - No; it is more general. - For example, one can mount <<>> and <<>>. - In this case, an internal read-only directory is created for <<>> in the mount table. - All operations on <<>> are valid except that <<>> is read-only. - - [[8]] <> - - You should store <<>> type path names, the same as it uses when running applications. - This insulates you from movement of data within namenodes inside a cluster as long as operations do the moves in a transparent fashion. - It does not insulate you if data gets moved from one cluster to another; the older (pre-federation) world did not protect you form such data movements across clusters anyway. - - [[9]] <> - - Delegation tokens for the cluster to which you are submitting the job (including all mounted volumes for that cluster’s mount table), and for input and output paths to your map-reduce job (including all volumes mounted via mount tables for the specified input and output paths) are all handled automatically. - In addition, there is a way to add additional delegation tokens to the base cluster configuration for special circumstances. - -* Appendix: A Mount Table Configuration Example - - Generally, users do not have to define mount tables or the <<>> to use the mount table. - This is done by operations and the correct configuration is set on the right gateway machines as is done for <<>> today. - - The mount tables can be described in <<>> but it is better to use indirection in <<>> to reference a separate configuration file, say <<>>. - Add the following configuration element to <<>> for referencing <<>>: - -+----------------- - - - -+----------------- - - In the file <<>>, there is a definition of the mount table "ClusterX" for the hypothetical cluster that is a federation of the three namespace volumes managed by the three namenodes - - [[1]] nn1-clusterx.example.com:8020, - - [[2]] nn2-clusterx.example.com:8020, and - - [[3]] nn3-clusterx.example.com:8020. - - [] - - Here <<>> and <<>> are in the namespace managed by namenode nn1-clusterx.example.com:8020, - and projects <<>> and <<>> are hosted on the other namenodes of the federated cluster. - The home directory base path is set to <<>> - so that each user can access its home directory using the getHomeDirectory() method defined in - {{{../../api/org/apache/hadoop/fs/FileSystem.html}FileSystem}}/{{{../../api/org/apache/hadoop/fs/FileContext.html}FileContext}}. - -+----------------- - - - fs.viewfs.mounttable.ClusterX.homedir - /home - - - fs.viewfs.mounttable.ClusterX.link./home - hdfs://nn1-clusterx.example.com:8020/home - - - fs.viewfs.mounttable.ClusterX.link./tmp - hdfs://nn1-clusterx.example.com:8020/tmp - - - fs.viewfs.mounttable.ClusterX.link./projects/foo - hdfs://nn2-clusterx.example.com:8020/projects/foo - - - fs.viewfs.mounttable.ClusterX.link./projects/bar - hdfs://nn3-clusterx.example.com:8020/projects/bar - - -+----------------- diff --git a/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/src/site/apt/WebHDFS.apt.vm b/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/src/site/apt/WebHDFS.apt.vm deleted file mode 100644 index 3668286e30e..00000000000 --- a/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/src/site/apt/WebHDFS.apt.vm +++ /dev/null @@ -1,2628 +0,0 @@ -~~ Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); -~~ you may not use this file except in compliance with the License. -~~ You may obtain a copy of the License at -~~ -~~ http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 -~~ -~~ Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, software -~~ distributed under the License is distributed on an "AS IS" BASIS, -~~ WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied. -~~ See the License for the specific language governing permissions and -~~ limitations under the License.
