Hi Singo,

Did the NN shut down cleanly before you started it again? Are you running a secondary NN? What Hadoop version?

We had the problem of our NN data being corrupt, probably as a result of accidentally running 2 secondary NNs at the same time (we were able to reproduce it that way). But your stack trace looks a bit different from what we had.

You could have a look at this thread: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hadoop-hdfs-user/201010.mbox/%3C83E09645-A671-4DCE-89A6-D0E1952190A9@mlogiciels.com%3E<ht...@mlogiciels.com>>. It has some hints on how you could possibly repair a corrupt image.


Friso

P.S.
You should probably take this to the hdfs user list, instead of HBase.
