copying between hadoop instances

I have two Hadoop instances running on one cluster of machines for the purpose of upgrading. I'm trying to copy all the files from the old instance to the new one but have been having trouble with both distcp and fs -cp.

Most recently, I've been trying, "sudo -u hdfs ./hadoop fs -cp hftp://mc00001:50070/* hdfs://mc00000:55310/" where mc00001 is the namenode of old hadoop and mc00000 is the namenode of new hadoop.

I've had some success with this command (some files have actually been copied), but part of the way through the copy, I get this error:

cp: Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for URL: http://mc00000.mcloud.bah.com:50075/streamFile?filename=/user/cluster/annotated/2009/07/05/_logs/history/mc00002_1291306280950_job_201012021111_0518_cluster_com.bah.mapred.CombineFilesDriver%253A+netflow-smallfi&ugi=hdfs

Is it possible that there could be permissions issues? It also doesn't seem quite right to be copying * since there are directories, but I don't think there's a way to call fs -cp recursively. Could this be causing problems?

Thanks,
Mike

Mike,

Ok you have two clouds on two different versions?

So you tried to use distcp using the hftp option?

Did you try it in reverse? So that the upgraded cloud is running the m/r?

I'm using hftp instead of hdfs because the DistCp guide (http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r0.20.2/distcp.html) says, "For copying between two different versions of Hadoop, one will usually use HftpFileSystem. This is a read-only FileSystem, so DistCp must be run on the destination cluster (more specifically, on TaskTrackers that can write to the destination cluster). Each source is specified as hftp://<dfs.http.address>/<path> (the default dfs.http.address is <namenode>:50070)."

RE: copying between hadoop instances

Posted by Michael Segel <mi...@hotmail.com>.
Sorry responded from my phone which was bounced...

I used distcp using dftp running on the cdh3 cloud to pull data from earlier cloud.
(default options.)

Michael,

Which worked for you? DistCp on the destination cluster or fs -cp? What options/protocols did you use?

Thanks,
Mike

I'm using hftp instead of hdfs because the DistCp guide (http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r0.20.2/distcp.html) says, "For copying between two different versions of Hadoop, one will usually use HftpFileSystem. This is a read-only FileSystem, so DistCp must be run on the destination cluster (more specifically, on TaskTrackers that can write to the destination cluster). Each source is specified as hftp://<dfs.http.address>/<path> (the default dfs.http.address is <namenode>:50070)."

RE: copying between hadoop instances

Posted by "Korb, Michael [USA]" <Ko...@bah.com>.
Same results. I think I'll have more luck with fs -cp. I think the error is caused by the fact that my source DFS has 29 under-replicated blocks. How can I get rid of these?

Thanks,
Mike

Maybe, API is backward compatible. Try to run the same command on
different node (it you ran in on mc00001, try mc00000)

RE: copying between hadoop instances

Posted by "Korb, Michael [USA]" <Ko...@bah.com>.
I was unable to get the stacktrace. Is there a workaround for the incompatible APIs? I'm using hftp instead of hdfs because the DistCp guide (http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r0.20.2/distcp.html) says, "For copying between two different versions of Hadoop, one will usually use HftpFileSystem. This is a read-only FileSystem, so DistCp must be run on the destination cluster (more specifically, on TaskTrackers that can write to the destination cluster). Each source is specified as hftp://<dfs.http.address>/<path> (the default dfs.http.address is <namenode>:50070)."

RE: copying between hadoop instances

Posted by "Korb, Michael [USA]" <Ko...@bah.com>.
That address is to a file on the destination fs, but it didn't get copied from the source. That is where fs -cp fails every time. Here's what happens when I try distcp:

sudo -u hdfs ./hadoop distcp -update hftp://mc00001:50070/ hdfs://mc00000:55310/

11/02/08 12:38:50 INFO tools.DistCp: srcPaths=[hftp://mc00001:50070/]
11/02/08 12:38:50 INFO tools.DistCp: destPath=hdfs://mc00000:55310/
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConf.getCredentials()Lorg/apache/hadoop/security/Credentials;
	at org.apache.hadoop.tools.DistCp.checkSrcPath(DistCp.java:632)
	at org.apache.hadoop.tools.DistCp.copy(DistCp.java:656)
	at org.apache.hadoop.tools.DistCp.run(DistCp.java:881)
	at org.apache.hadoop.util.ToolRunner.run(ToolRunner.java:65)
	at org.apache.hadoop.util.ToolRunner.run(ToolRunner.java:79)
	at org.apache.hadoop.tools.DistCp.main(DistCp.java:908)

I asked about this before and got a response from Ted Dunning. He said, "This is due to the security API not being available.  You are crossing from a cluster with security to one without and that is causing confusion. Presumably your client assumes that it is available and your hadoop library doesn't provide it. Check your class path very carefully looking for version assumptions and confusions."

I don't know where to begin checking my class path for these things... but perhaps if I could get distcp working it wouldn't run into the same problems as fs -cp.

Thanks,
Mike

And what's wrong with distcp (any stacktraces, error messages?)
