Hadoop component is not starting

Question

I'm new to hadoop well I've followed micheal install ( http://www.michael-noll.com/tutorials/running-hadoop-on-ubuntu-linux-single-node-cluster/ ).

When I run the command /usr/local/hadoop/bin/start-all.sh, normally this will startup a Namenode, Datanode, Jobtracker and a Tasktracker on the machine.

I get only TaskTracker started here is the trace :

hduser@srv591 ~ $ /usr/local/hadoop/bin/start-all.sh
starting namenode, logging to /usr/local/hadoop/libexec/../logs/hadoop-hduser-namenode-srv591.out

hduser@srv591 ~ $ /usr/local/java/bin/jps
19469 TaskTracker
19544 Jps

The solution of Tariq works, but still to start jobtracker and namenode here is the content of logs

 hduser@srv591 ~ $ cat /usr/local/hadoop/libexec/../logs/hadoop-hduser-namenode-srv591.log

Answer 1

Please make sure you have created the directory /app/hadoop/tmp/dfs/namesecondary and have proper permissions. Also, inspecting the logs(NN, DN, SNN, JT) would be helpful. If you are still facing the issue show us the logs along with the configuration files.

---

In response to your comment :

org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.common.InconsistentFSStateException: Directory /app/hadoop/tmp/dfs/name is in an inconsistent state: storage directory does not exist or is not accessible.

Looks like you haven't created any of the directories you are using in your configuration files. This exception clearly shows that. Please make sure you have created all the directories with proper permissions which you are using as values of your configuration properties.

Answer 2

The default Hadoop installation takes the datanode and namenode data directories as some /tmp directory on the local disk. The correct way is to manually create the data directories for datanode and namenode on local and put the path in the hdfs-site.xml. Add the following properties to /etc/hadoop/hdfs-site.xml and reformat the name node and restart it should be fixed.

<property>
 <name>dfs.namenode.name.dir</name>
 <value>file:///data/1/dfs/nn,file:///data/2/dfs/nn</value>
</property>
<property>
 <name>dfs.datanode.data.dir</name>
 <value>file:///data/1/dfs/dn,file:///data/2/dfs/dn</value>
</property>
