Fully Distributed Hadoop Cluster - Manual Failover HA with NFS

In my last post we had configured Hadoop Federation Cluster in a fully distributed mode. Next we will go for a fully distributed manual failover hadoop HA cluster in this post. I will skip the hadoop and java installation part as we have already gone through those a couple of times in my previous posts. For further learning we will use the hardware configuration mentioned in the below table.

namenode1 ha-nn01   192.168.56.101
namenode2 ha-nn02   192.168.56.102
datanode1 ha-dn01   192.168.56.103
datanode2 ha-dn02   192.168.56.104
client    ha-client 192.168.56.105

We already have 2 namenodes, 2 datanodes and a client node all running on CentOS release 5.11 and ready with the required user configuration, passwordless ssh environment, appropriate java configurations, hadoop installation with all variables and paths declared.
Note: If not set, please follow my last post on “FullyDistributed Hadoop Federation Cluster” till “hadoop installation and testing” step.
Also make sure that you follow the note in the “Downloads” section.

Hadoop Configuration


Moving directly to the configuration part required to setup a manual failover HA.

hadoop-env.sh
Location: ha-nn01, ha-nn02, ha-dn01, ha-dn02, ha-client
huser:~$ vi /opt/hadoop-2.6.0/etc/hadoop/hadoop-env.sh
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_25/
export HADOOP_LOG_DIR=/var/log/hadoop/

Create a log directory in the specified path mentioned in hadoop-env.sh file under the parameter HADOOP_LOG_DIR and change the ownership of the directory to “huser” user.
$ sudo mkdir /var/log/hadoop
$ sudo chown -R huser:hadoop /var/log/hadoop

Note: In the client machine there is no need to specify and create a log directory. Similarly, it is needless to declare java's home directory if it is pre-installed.

core-site.xml
Location: ha-nn01, ha-nn02, ha-dn01, ha-dn02, ha-client
huser:~$ sudo vi /opt/hadoop-2.6.0/etc/hadoop/core-site.xml
<configuration>
 <property>
  <name>fs.default.name</name>
  <value>hdfs://man-ha</value>
 </property>
</configuration>

hdfs-site.xml
Location: ha-nn01, ha-nn02, ha-dn01, ha-dn02
huser:~$ sudo vi /opt/hadoop-2.6.0/etc/hadoop/hdfs-site.xml
<configuration>
 <property>
  <name>dfs.replication</name>
  <value>2</value>
 </property>
 <property>
  <name>dfs.name.dir</name>
  <value>file:///hdfs/name</value>
 </property>
 <property>
  <name>dfs.data.dir</name>
  <value>file:///hdfs/data</value>
 </property>
 <property>
  <name>dfs.permissions</name>
  <value>false</value>
 </property>
 <property>
  <name>dfs.nameservices</name>
  <value>man-ha</value>
 </property>
 <property>
  <name>dfs.ha.namenodes.man-ha</name>
  <value>nn01,nn02</value>
 </property>
 <property>
  <name>dfs.namenode.rpc-address.man-ha.nn01</name>
  <value>ha-nn01:8020</value>
 </property>
 <property>
  <name>dfs.namenode.http-address.man-ha.nn01</name>
  <value>ha-nn01:50070</value>
 </property>
 <property>
  <name>dfs.namenode.rpc-address.man-ha.nn02</name>
  <value>ha-nn02:8020</value>
 </property>
 <property>
  <name>dfs.namenode.http-address.man-ha.nn02</name>
  <value>ha-nn02:50070</value>
 </property>
 <property>
  <name>dfs.namenode.shared.edits.dir</name>
  <value>file:///mnt/</value>
 </property>
 <property>
  <name>dfs.ha.fencing.methods</name>
  <value>sshfence</value>
 </property>
 <property>
  <name>dfs.ha.fencing.ssh.private-key-files</name>
  <value>/home/huser/.ssh/id_rsa</value>
 </property>
</configuration>

Copy the hdfs-site.xml in client node and add the below mentioned property to it.

Location: ha-client
huser@ha-client:~$ sudo vi /opt/hadoop-2.6.0/etc/hadoop/hdfs-site.xml
<property>
 <name>dfs.client.failover.proxy.provider.man- ha</name>       <value>org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.ha.ConfiguredFailoverProxyProvider</value>
</property>


Note: The value for "dfs.namenode.shared.edits.dir" property should point to a shared NFS mounted directory. To create a permanently shared NFS mount, click here.

slaves
Location: ha-nn01, ha-nn02
huser:~$ vi /opt/hadoop-2.6.0/etc/hadoop/slaves
ha-dn01
ha-dn02

Here we complete the required configurations to deploy manual failover Hadoop HA. Get ready to fire it up. The below mentioned administration steps will help us to move further and manage the cluster.

Formatting, starting & activating namenodes & datanodes

We will format the namenodes one by one and start the namenode daemons manually on them. Make sure that the shared edits directory is mounted on all namenodes.
Location: ha-nn01
huser@ha-nn01:~$ hadoop namenode -format
huser@ha-nn01:~$ hadoop-daemon.sh start namenode

Location: ha-nn02
huser@ha-nn02:~$ hadoop namenode -bootstrapStandby
huser@ha-nn02:~$ hadoop-daemon.sh start namenode

Now at this point of time both the namenodes will be in standby mode. To make the desired namenode to run in “active” state, we can run the below command from any namenode machine.
huser@ha-nn02:~$ hdfs haadmin -transitionToActive nn01

Note: In the above example we have activated the namenode-id “nn01” to transition to active state. Do not provide the hostname of the namenode in this field.

Finally, we will start the datanode daemon on all slave nodes using the below command.
huser@ha-nn01:~$ hadoop-daemons.sh start datanode

Alternatively we can start the datanode daemons independently on each slave node.
huser@ha-dn01:~$ hadoop-daemon.sh start datanode


Monitoring

One can check the status of namenodes using below command from any namenode.
huser@ha-nn02:~$ huser@ha-nn02:~$ hdfs haadmin -getServiceState nn01
where, nn01 is the namenode-id for ha-nn01.

Also it is possible to view the status of namenode in a browser from any namenode or client machines by pointing the url to ha-nn01:50070 or ha-nn02:50070

The filesystem operations like create, copy, list, delete, etc should be done using the absolute path.

Example:
To copy a file from local filesystem in client to the active namenode ha-nn01
huser@ha-client ~$ hadoop dfs -copyFromLocal largefile hdfs://ha-nn01/test/
