Datanode process not running in Hadoop

Viewed 154618

I set up and configured a multi-node Hadoop cluster using this tutorial.

When I type in the start-all.sh command, it shows all the processes initializing properly as follows:

starting namenode, logging to /usr/local/hadoop/libexec/../logs/hadoop-root-namenode-jawwadtest1.out
jawwadtest1: starting datanode, logging to /usr/local/hadoop/libexec/../logs/hadoop-root-datanode-jawwadtest1.out
jawwadtest2: starting datanode, logging to /usr/local/hadoop/libexec/../logs/hadoop-root-datanode-jawwadtest2.out
jawwadtest1: starting secondarynamenode, logging to /usr/local/hadoop/libexec/../logs/hadoop-root-secondarynamenode-jawwadtest1.out
starting jobtracker, logging to /usr/local/hadoop/libexec/../logs/hadoop-root-jobtracker-jawwadtest1.out
jawwadtest1: starting tasktracker, logging to /usr/local/hadoop/libexec/../logs/hadoop-root-tasktracker-jawwadtest1.out
jawwadtest2: starting tasktracker, logging to /usr/local/hadoop/libexec/../logs/hadoop-root-tasktracker-jawwadtest2.out

However, when I type the jps command, I get the following output:

31057 NameNode
4001 RunJar
6182 RunJar
31328 SecondaryNameNode
31411 JobTracker
32119 Jps
31560 TaskTracker

As you can see, there's no datanode process running. I tried configuring a single-node cluster but got the same problem. Would anyone have any idea what could be going wrong here? Are there any configuration files that are not mentioned in the tutorial or I may have looked over? I am new to Hadoop and am kinda lost and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Delete the datanode under your hadoop folder then rerun start-all.sh

Delete the files under $hadoop_User/dfsdata and $hadoop_User/tmpdata then run:

hdfs namenode -format

finally run:

start-all.sh

Then your problem gets solved.

Check whether the hadoop.tmp.dir property in the core-site.xml is correctly set. If you set it, navigate to this directory, and remove or empty this directory. If you didn't set it, you navigate to its default folder /tmp/hadoop-${user.name}, likewise remove or empty this directory.

In case of Mac os(Pseudo-distributed mode):

Open terminal

  1. Stop dfs. 'sbin/stop-all.sh'.
  2. cd /tmp
  3. rm -rf hadoop*
  4. Navigate to hadoop directory. Format the hdfs. bin/hdfs namenode -format
  5. sbin/start-dfs.sh

Follow these steps and your datanode will start again.

1)Stop dfs. 2)Open hdfs-site.xml 3)Remove the data.dir and name.dir properties from hdfs-site.xml and -format namenode again.

4)Then start dfs again.

Once I was not able to find data node using jps in hadoop, then I deleted the current folder in the hadoop installed directory (/opt/hadoop-2.7.0/hadoop_data/dfs/data) and restarted hadoop using start-all.sh and jps.

This time I could find the data node and current folder was created again.

I Have applied some mixed configuration, and its worked for me.
First >>
Stop Hadoop all Services using ${HADOOP_HOME}/sbin/stop-all.sh

Second >>
Check mapred-site.xml which is located at your ${HADOOP_HOME}/etc/hadoop/mapred-site.xml and change the localhost to master.

Third >>
Remove the temporary folder created by hadoop
rm -rf //path//to//your//hadoop//temp//folder

Fourth >>
Add the recursive permission on temp.
sudo chmod -R 777 //path//to//your//hadoop//temp//folder

Fifth >>
Now Start all the services again. And First check that all service including datanode is running. enter image description here
