hadoop balance均衡datanode存储不起作用问题分析

  前段时间因为hadoop集群各datanode空间使用率很不均衡,需要重新balance(主要是有后加入集群的2台机器磁盘空间比较大引起的),在执行如下语句:

bin/start-balancer.sh -threshold 10

  后,日志输出如下:

No block has been moved for 5 iterations. Exiting...

Balancing took 10.023 seconds

很明显,balancer已经计算出要移动的数据量,但是就是没有移动,这是为什么呢?

查看hadoop-mysql-balancer-master.log并没有发现Error或者Warning,那只能去看源码了。

原来hadoop balancer在进行转移block的时候是会判断的,具体要求见下面的代码:

 /* Decide if it is OK to move the given block from source to target

   * A block is a good candidate if

   * 1. the block is not in the process of being moved/has not been moved;

   * 2. the block does not have a replica on the target;

   * 3. doing the move does not reduce the number of racks that the block has

   */



private boolean isGoodBlockCandidate(Source source, 

      BalancerDatanode target, BalancerBlock block) {

    // check if the block is moved or not

    if (movedBlocks.contains(block)) {

        return false;

    }

    if (block.isLocatedOnDatanode(target)) {

      return false;

    }



    boolean goodBlock = false;

    if (cluster.isOnSameRack(source.getDatanode(), target.getDatanode())) {

      // good if source and target are on the same rack

      goodBlock = true;

    } else {

      boolean notOnSameRack = true;

      synchronized (block) {

        for (BalancerDatanode loc : block.locations) {

          if (cluster.isOnSameRack(loc.datanode, target.datanode)) {

            notOnSameRack = false;

            break;

          }

        }

      }

      if (notOnSameRack) {

        // good if target is target is not on the same rack as any replica

        goodBlock = true;

      } else {

        // good if source is on the same rack as on of the replicas

        for (BalancerDatanode loc : block.locations) {

          if (loc != source && 

              cluster.isOnSameRack(loc.datanode, source.datanode)) {

            goodBlock = true;

            break;

          }

        }

      }

    }

    return goodBlock;

  }

  

对照上面的3个要求,逐一排查未移动block的原因:

(1)需要移动的block在本次balance的过程中没有被移动过------这条满足;

(2)需要移动的block在目标机器上不存在------这条待验证;

(3)需要移动的block,在移动后不改变每个机架上block的数量(注意,这是的数量不是总数量,是去重以后的block数量,例如,block的备份数是2,其实是算一个唯一的block)------由于集群在配置的时候没有添加机架感知脚本,所以默认情况下,都在1个机架上,这条满足。

那现在就去集群上验证第二条,果不其然,发现很多block在后面加入的2台机器上都已经存在,这还移动个屁啊,那边都已经存在了,所以balancer移动进程就退出了。

 

解决方法:

1.使用如下命令

bin/hadoop fs -setRep -R / 2

将集群中的block备份数同一设置成你在hdfs-site.xml中

<property>

<name>dfs.replication</name>

<value>2</value>

</property>

配置的备份数,然后重启hadoop集群,等hadoop完成校验blcok以后再balance即可解决问题。
