Writing to HDFS could only be replicated to 0 nodes instead of minReplication (=1)
hadoop, hdfs, hive, java, mapreduce
Solution
1.Stop all Hadoop daemons
for x in `cd /etc/init.d ; ls hadoop*` ; do sudo service $x stop ; done
2.Remove all files from `/var/lib/hadoop-hdfs/cache/hdfs/dfs/name`
Eg: devan@Devan-PC:~$ sudo rm -r /var/lib/hadoop-hdfs/cache/
3.Format Namenode
sudo -u hdfs hdfs namenode -format
4.Start all Hadoop daemons
for x in `cd /etc/init.d ; ls hadoop*` ; do sudo service $x start ; done
Stop All Hadoop Service
Problem
I have 3 data nodes running, while running a job i am getting the following given below error , java.io.IOException: File /user/ashsshar/olhcache/loaderMap9b663bd9 could only be replicated to 0 nodes instead of minReplication (=1). There are 3 datanode(s) running and 3 node(s) are excluded in this operation. at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.blockmanagement.BlockManager.chooseTarget(BlockManager.java:1325) This error mainly comes when our DataNode instances have ran out of space or if DataNodes are not running. I tried restarting the DataNodes but still getting the same error. dfsadmin -reports at my cluster nodes clearly shows a lots of space is available. I am not sure why this is happending.
