Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) is a distributed file system designed to run on commodity hardware. It 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 datasets.
When working with Hadoop HDFS, you might encounter an error related to the Namenode RPC failure. This issue typically manifests as a failure in client operations that rely on communication with the Namenode. You may observe error messages indicating RPC communication problems, which can disrupt the normal functioning of your Hadoop cluster.
The error code HDFS-035 refers to a failure in the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) communication with the Namenode. The Namenode is a critical component of HDFS, responsible for managing the metadata and namespace of the file system. RPC is used for communication between the client and the Namenode, and any disruption in this communication can lead to operational issues.
Ensure that there is proper network connectivity between the client and the Namenode. You can use the ping command to verify connectivity:
ping <namenode-hostname>
If the ping fails, check your network settings and firewall configurations.
Check if the Namenode is running and responsive. You can use the following command to check the status of the Namenode:
hdfs dfsadmin -report
If the Namenode is down, you may need to restart it.
If the Namenode is unresponsive, restarting it might resolve the issue. Use the following command to restart the Namenode:
hadoop-daemon.sh stop namenode
hadoop-daemon.sh start namenode
After restarting, check the logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate the cause of the problem.
Ensure that the configuration files, such as core-site.xml and hdfs-site.xml, are correctly set up. Incorrect configurations can lead to communication issues.
For more detailed information on troubleshooting HDFS issues, you can refer to the official HDFS User Guide. Additionally, the Hadoop Cluster Setup Guide provides insights into setting up and configuring a Hadoop cluster.
