Cloudera hadoop: not able to run Hadoop fs command and at same time HBase is not able to create directory on HDFS?

Question

I have cloudera 5.0 beta cluster of 6 node up and running

But i am not able to view files and folders of hadoop HDFS using command

sudo -u hdfs hadoop fs -ls /

In output it is showing the files and folder of linux directory.

Although namenode UI is showing files and folders.

and while creating folder on HDFS getting error

sudo -u hdfs hadoop fs -mkdir /test
mkdir: `/test': Input/output error

Due to this error hbase is not starting and shutdowns with following error:

Unhandled exception. Starting shutdown.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Either change the configuration of core-file.xml and edit the property fs.default.name as

<property>
     <name>fs.default.name</name>
     <value>hdfs://target-namenode:54310</value>
</property>

Or Run command like this

for cloudera

sudo -u hdfs hadoop fs -ls hdfs://<hadoop-master-ip>:8020/

for Apache Hadoop

bin/hadoop fs -ls hdfs://<hadoop-master-ip>:9000/

similarly you can run any command of hadoop fs

Answer 2

Looks like the hadoop fs command isn't picking up the namenode address from your core-site.xml. Hadoop client code will generally default to the local file system in the absence of a configured namenode.

If you are running the command from a node on the cluster that isn't the namenode, you may have to tell CM to deploy the client configuration.

If you are running on a machine outside of the cluster, you'll have to set the configuration manually and make sure the core-site.xml file can be found somewhere in the Java classpath.
