| dfs.namenode.edits.journal-plugin.qjournal |
org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.qjournal.client.QuorumJournalManager |
|
| dfs.permissions.enabled |

| dfs.permissions.superusergroup |
supergroup |
The name of the group of super-users. |
| dfs.block.access.token.enable |

| dfs.datanode.data.dir |
file://${hadoop.tmp.dir}/dfs/data |
Determines where on the local filesystem an DFS data node should store its blocks. If this is a comma-delimited list of directories, then data will be stored in all named directories, typically on different devices. Directories that do not exist are ignored. |
| dfs.datanode.data.dir.perm |

| dfs.client.block.write.retries |
3 |
The number of retries for writing blocks to the data nodes, before we signal failure to the application. |
| dfs.client.block.write.replace-datanode-on-failure.enable |
true |
If there is a datanode/network failure in the write pipeline, DFSClient will try to remove the failed datanode from the pipeline and then continue writing with the remaining datanodes. As a result, the number of datanodes in the pipeline is decreased. The feature is to add new datanodes to the pipeline. This is a site-wide property to enable/disable the feature. When the cluster size is extremely small, e.g. 3 nodes or less, cluster administrators may want to set the policy to NEVER in the default configuration file or disable this feature. Otherwise, users may experience an unusually high rate of pipeline failures since it is impossible to find new datanodes for replacement. See also dfs.client.block.write.replace-datanode-on-failure.policy |
| dfs.client.block.write.replace-datanode-on-failure.policy |
DEFAULT |
This property is used only if the value of dfs.client.block.write.replace-datanode-on-failure.enable is true. ALWAYS: always add a new datanode when an existing datanode is removed. NEVER: never add a new datanode. DEFAULT: Let r be the replication number. Let n be the number of existing datanodes. Add a new datanode only if r is greater than or equal to 3 and either (1) floor(r/2) is greater than or equal to n; or (2) r is greater than n and the block is hflushed/appended. |

| dfs.namenode.safemode.min.datanodes |
0 |
Specifies the number of datanodes that must be considered alive before the name node exits safemode. Values less than or equal to 0 mean not to take the number of live datanodes into account when deciding whether to remain in safe mode during startup. Values greater than the number of datanodes in the cluster will make safe mode permanent. |
| dfs.namenode.safemode.extension |
30000 |
Determines extension of safe mode in milliseconds after the threshold level is reached. |
| dfs.datanode.balance.bandwidthPerSec |
1048576 |
Specifies the maximum amount of bandwidth that each datanode can utilize for the balancing purpose in term of the number of bytes per second. |

| dfs.datanode.plugins |
|
Comma-separated list of datanode plug-ins to be activated. |
| dfs.namenode.plugins |
|
Comma-separated list of namenode plug-ins to be activated. |
| dfs.stream-buffer-size |
4096 |
The size of buffer to stream files. The size of this buffer should probably be a multiple of hardware page size (4096 on Intel x86), and it determines how much data is buffered during read and write operations. |

600000 |
The maximum period to keep a DN in the excluded nodes list at a client. After this period, in milliseconds, the previously excluded node(s) will be removed automatically from the cache and will be considered good for block allocations again. Useful to lower or raise in situations where you keep a file open for very long periods (such as a Write-Ahead-Log (WAL) file) to make the writer tolerant to cluster maintenance restarts. Defaults to 10 minutes. |
| dfs.namenode.checkpoint.dir |
file://${hadoop.tmp.dir}/dfs/namesecondary |
Determines where on the local filesystem the DFS secondary name node should store the temporary images to merge. If this is a comma-delimited list of directories then the image is replicated in all of the directories for redundancy. |
| dfs.namenode.checkpoint.edits.dir |
${dfs.namenode.checkpoint.dir} |
Determines where on the local filesystem the DFS secondary name node should store the temporary edits to merge. If this is a comma-delimited list of directoires then teh edits is replicated in all of the directoires for redundancy. Default value is same as dfs.namenode.checkpoint.dir |
| dfs.namenode.checkpoint.period |
3600 |
The number of seconds between two periodic checkpoints. |
| dfs.namenode.checkpoint.txns |
1000000 |
The Secondary NameNode or CheckpointNode will create a checkpoint of the namespace every 'dfs.namenode.checkpoint.txns' transactions, regardless of whether 'dfs.namenode.checkpoint.period' has expired. |
| dfs.namenode.checkpoint.check.period |
60 |
The SecondaryNameNode and CheckpointNode will poll the NameNode every 'dfs.namenode.checkpoint.check.period' seconds to query the number of uncheckpointed transactions. |
| dfs.namenode.checkpoint.max-retries |
3 |
The SecondaryNameNode retries failed checkpointing. If the failure occurs while loading fsimage or replaying edits, the number of retries is limited by this variable. |
| dfs.namenode.num.checkpoints.retained |
2 |
The number of image checkpoint files that will be retained by the NameNode and Secondary NameNode in their storage directories. All edit logs necessary to recover an up-to-date namespace from the oldest retained checkpoint will also be retained. |
| dfs.namenode.num.extra.edits.retained |
1000000 |
The number of extra transactions which should be retained beyond what is minimally necessary for a NN restart. This can be useful for audit purposes or for an HA setup where a remote Standby Node may have been offline for some time and need to have a longer backlog of retained edits in order to start again. Typically each edit is on the order of a few hundred bytes, so the default of 1 million edits should be on the order of hundreds of MBs or low GBs. NOTE: Fewer extra edits may be retained than value specified for this setting if doing so would mean that more segments would be retained than the number configured by dfs.namenode.max.extra.edits.segments.retained. |
| dfs.namenode.max.extra.edits.segments.retained |
10000 |
The maximum number of extra edit log segments which should be retained beyond what is minimally necessary for a NN restart. When used in conjunction with dfs.namenode.num.extra.edits.retained, this configuration property serves to cap the number of extra edits files to a reasonable value. |
| dfs.namenode.delegation.key.update-interval |
86400000 |
The update interval for master key for delegation tokens in the namenode in milliseconds. |
| dfs.namenode.delegation.token.max-lifetime |
604800000 |
The maximum lifetime in milliseconds for which a delegation token is valid. |
| dfs.namenode.delegation.token.renew-interval |
86400000 |
The renewal interval for delegation token in milliseconds. |
| dfs.datanode.failed.volumes.tolerated |
0 |
The number of volumes that are allowed to fail before a datanode stops offering service. By default any volume failure will cause a datanode to shutdown. |
| dfs.image.compress |
false |
Should the dfs image be compressed? |
| dfs.image.compression.codec |
org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.DefaultCodec |
If the dfs image is compressed, how should they be compressed? This has to be a codec defined in io.compression.codecs. |
| dfs.image.transfer.timeout |
600000 |
Timeout for image transfer in milliseconds. This timeout and the related dfs.image.transfer.bandwidthPerSec parameter should be configured such that normal image transfer can complete within the timeout. This timeout prevents client hangs when the sender fails during image transfer, which is particularly important during checkpointing. Note that this timeout applies to the entirety of image transfer, and is not a socket timeout. |
| dfs.image.transfer.bandwidthPerSec |
0 |
Maximum bandwidth used for image transfer in bytes per second. This can help keep normal namenode operations responsive during checkpointing. The maximum bandwidth and timeout in dfs.image.transfer.timeout should be set such that normal image transfers can complete successfully. A default value of 0 indicates that throttling is disabled. |
| dfs.namenode.support.allow.format |
true |
Does HDFS namenode allow itself to be formatted? You may consider setting this to false for any production cluster, to avoid any possibility of formatting a running DFS. |
| dfs.datanode.max.transfer.threads |
4096 |
Specifies the maximum number of threads to use for transferring data in and out of the DN. |
| dfs.datanode.readahead.bytes |
4193404 |
While reading block files, if the Hadoop native libraries are available, the datanode can use the posix_fadvise system call to explicitly page data into the operating system buffer cache ahead of the current reader's position. This can improve performance especially when disks are highly contended. This configuration specifies the number of bytes ahead of the current read position which the datanode will attempt to read ahead. This feature may be disabled by configuring this property to 0. If the native libraries are not available, this configuration has no effect. |
| dfs.datanode.drop.cache.behind.reads |
false |
In some workloads, the data read from HDFS is known to be significantly large enough that it is unlikely to be useful to cache it in the operating system buffer cache. In this case, the DataNode may be configured to automatically purge all data from the buffer cache after it is delivered to the client. This behavior is automatically disabled for workloads which read only short sections of a block (e.g HBase random-IO workloads). This may improve performance for some workloads by freeing buffer cache spage usage for more cacheable data. If the Hadoop native libraries are not available, this configuration has no effect. |
| dfs.datanode.drop.cache.behind.writes |
false |
In some workloads, the data written to HDFS is known to be significantly large enough that it is unlikely to be useful to cache it in the operating system buffer cache. In this case, the DataNode may be configured to automatically purge all data from the buffer cache after it is written to disk. This may improve performance for some workloads by freeing buffer cache spage usage for more cacheable data. If the Hadoop native libraries are not available, this configuration has no effect. |
| dfs.datanode.sync.behind.writes |
false |
If this configuration is enabled, the datanode will instruct the operating system to enqueue all written data to the disk immediately after it is written. This differs from the usual OS policy which may wait for up to 30 seconds before triggering writeback. This may improve performance for some workloads by smoothing the IO profile for data written to disk. If the Hadoop native libraries are not available, this configuration has no effect. |
| dfs.client.failover.max.attempts |
15 |
Expert only. The number of client failover attempts that should be made before the failover is considered failed. |
| dfs.client.failover.sleep.base.millis |
500 |
Expert only. The time to wait, in milliseconds, between failover attempts increases exponentially as a function of the number of attempts made so far, with a random factor of +/- 50%. This option specifies the base value used in the failover calculation. The first failover will retry immediately. The 2nd failover attempt will delay at least dfs.client.failover.sleep.base.millis milliseconds. And so on. |
| dfs.client.failover.sleep.max.millis |
15000 |
Expert only. The time to wait, in milliseconds, between failover attempts increases exponentially as a function of the number of attempts made so far, with a random factor of +/- 50%. This option specifies the maximum value to wait between failovers. Specifically, the time between two failover attempts will not exceed +/- 50% of dfs.client.failover.sleep.max.millis milliseconds. |
| dfs.client.failover.connection.retries |
0 |
Expert only. Indicates the number of retries a failover IPC client will make to establish a server connection. |
| dfs.client.failover.connection.retries.on.timeouts |
0 |
Expert only. The number of retry attempts a failover IPC client will make on socket timeout when establishing a server connection. |
| dfs.nameservices |
|
Comma-separated list of nameservices. |
| dfs.nameservice.id |
|
The ID of this nameservice. If the nameservice ID is not configured or more than one nameservice is configured for dfs.nameservices it is determined automatically by matching the local node's address with the configured address. |
| dfs.ha.namenodes.EXAMPLENAMESERVICE |
|
The prefix for a given nameservice, contains a comma-separated list of namenodes for a given nameservice (eg EXAMPLENAMESERVICE). |
| dfs.ha.namenode.id |
|
The ID of this namenode. If the namenode ID is not configured it is determined automatically by matching the local node's address with the configured address. |
| dfs.ha.log-roll.period |
120 |
How often, in seconds, the StandbyNode should ask the active to roll edit logs. Since the StandbyNode only reads from finalized log segments, the StandbyNode will only be as up-to-date as how often the logs are rolled. Note that failover triggers a log roll so the StandbyNode will be up to date before it becomes active. |
| dfs.ha.tail-edits.period |
60 |
How often, in seconds, the StandbyNode should check for new finalized log segments in the shared edits log. |
| dfs.ha.automatic-failover.enabled |
false |
Whether automatic failover is enabled. See the HDFS High Availability documentation for details on automatic HA configuration. |
| dfs.support.append |
true |
Does HDFS allow appends to files? |
| dfs.client.use.datanode.hostname |
false |
Whether clients should use datanode hostnames when connecting to datanodes. |
| dfs.datanode.use.datanode.hostname |
false |
Whether datanodes should use datanode hostnames when connecting to other datanodes for data transfer. |
| dfs.client.local.interfaces |
|
A comma separated list of network interface names to use for data transfer between the client and datanodes. When creating a connection to read from or write to a datanode, the client chooses one of the specified interfaces at random and binds its socket to the IP of that interface. Individual names may be specified as either an interface name (eg "eth0"), a subinterface name (eg "eth0:0"), or an IP address (which may be specified using CIDR notation to match a range of IPs). |
| dfs.namenode.kerberos.internal.spnego.principal |
${dfs.web.authentication.kerberos.principal} |
|
| dfs.secondary.namenode.kerberos.internal.spnego.principal |
${dfs.web.authentication.kerberos.principal} |
|
| dfs.namenode.avoid.read.stale.datanode |
false |
Indicate whether or not to avoid reading from "stale" datanodes whose heartbeat messages have not been received by the namenode for more than a specified time interval. Stale datanodes will be moved to the end of the node list returned for reading. See dfs.namenode.avoid.write.stale.datanode for a similar setting for writes. |
| dfs.namenode.avoid.write.stale.datanode |
false |
Indicate whether or not to avoid writing to "stale" datanodes whose heartbeat messages have not been received by the namenode for more than a specified time interval. Writes will avoid using stale datanodes unless more than a configured ratio (dfs.namenode.write.stale.datanode.ratio) of datanodes are marked as stale. See dfs.namenode.avoid.read.stale.datanode for a similar setting for reads. |
| dfs.namenode.stale.datanode.interval |
30000 |
Default time interval for marking a datanode as "stale", i.e., if the namenode has not received heartbeat msg from a datanode for more than this time interval, the datanode will be marked and treated as "stale" by default. The stale interval cannot be too small since otherwise this may cause too frequent change of stale states. We thus set a minimum stale interval value (the default value is 3 times of heartbeat interval) and guarantee that the stale interval cannot be less than the minimum value. A stale data node is avoided during lease/block recovery. It can be conditionally avoided for reads (see dfs.namenode.avoid.read.stale.datanode) and for writes (see dfs.namenode.avoid.write.stale.datanode). |
| dfs.namenode.write.stale.datanode.ratio |
0.5f |
When the ratio of number stale datanodes to total datanodes marked is greater than this ratio, stop avoiding writing to stale nodes so as to prevent causing hotspots. |
| dfs.namenode.invalidate.work.pct.per.iteration |
0.32f |
*Note*: Advanced property. Change with caution. This determines the percentage amount of block invalidations (deletes) to do over a single DN heartbeat deletion command. The final deletion count is determined by applying this percentage to the number of live nodes in the system. The resultant number is the number of blocks from the deletion list chosen for proper invalidation over a single heartbeat of a single DN. Value should be a positive, non-zero percentage in float notation (X.Yf), with 1.0f meaning 100%. |
| dfs.namenode.replication.work.multiplier.per.iteration |
2 |
*Note*: Advanced property. Change with caution. This determines the total amount of block transfers to begin in parallel at a DN, for replication, when such a command list is being sent over a DN heartbeat by the NN. The actual number is obtained by multiplying this multiplier with the total number of live nodes in the cluster. The result number is the number of blocks to begin transfers immediately for, per DN heartbeat. This number can be any positive, non-zero integer. |
| dfs.webhdfs.enabled |
false |
Enable WebHDFS (REST API) in Namenodes and Datanodes. |
| hadoop.fuse.connection.timeout |
300 |
The minimum number of seconds that we'll cache libhdfs connection objects in fuse_dfs. Lower values will result in lower memory consumption; higher values may speed up access by avoiding the overhead of creating new connection objects. |
| hadoop.fuse.timer.period |
5 |
The number of seconds between cache expiry checks in fuse_dfs. Lower values will result in fuse_dfs noticing changes to Kerberos ticket caches more quickly. |
| dfs.metrics.percentiles.intervals |
|
Comma-delimited set of integers denoting the desired rollover intervals (in seconds) for percentile latency metrics on the Namenode and Datanode. By default, percentile latency metrics are disabled. |
| dfs.encrypt.data.transfer |
false |
Whether or not actual block data that is read/written from/to HDFS should be encrypted on the wire. This only needs to be set on the NN and DNs, clients will deduce this automatically. |
| dfs.encrypt.data.transfer.algorithm |
|
This value may be set to either "3des" or "rc4". If nothing is set, then the configured JCE default on the system is used (usually 3DES.) It is widely believed that 3DES is more cryptographically secure, but RC4 is substantially faster. |
| dfs.datanode.hdfs-blocks-metadata.enabled |
false |
Boolean which enables backend datanode-side support for the experimental DistributedFileSystem#getFileVBlockStorageLocations API. |
| dfs.client.file-block-storage-locations.num-threads |
10 |
Number of threads used for making parallel RPCs in DistributedFileSystem#getFileBlockStorageLocations(). |
| dfs.client.file-block-storage-locations.timeout |

The JournalNode RPC server address and port. |
| dfs.journalnode.http-address |
0.0.0.0:8480 |
The address and port the JournalNode web UI listens on. If the port is 0 then the server will start on a free port. |
| dfs.namenode.audit.loggers |
default |
List of classes implementing audit loggers that will receive audit events. These should be implementations of org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.AuditLogger. The special value "default" can be used to reference the default audit logger, which uses the configured log system. Installing custom audit loggers may affect the performance and stability of the NameNode. Refer to the custom logger's documentation for more details. |
| dfs.domain.socket.path |
|
Optional. This is a path to a UNIX domain socket that will be used for communication between the DataNode and local HDFS clients. If the string "_PORT" is present in this path, it will be replaced by the TCP port of the DataNode. |
| dfs.datanode.available-space-volume-choosing-policy.balanced-space-threshold |
10737418240 |
Only used when the dfs.datanode.fsdataset.volume.choosing.policy is set to org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.datanode.fsdataset.AvailableSpaceVolumeChoosingPolicy. This setting controls how much DN volumes are allowed to differ in terms of bytes of free disk space before they are considered imbalanced. If the free space of all the volumes are within this range of each other, the volumes will be considered balanced and block assignments will be done on a pure round robin basis. |
| dfs.datanode.available-space-volume-choosing-policy.balanced-space-preference-fraction |
0.75f |
Only used when the dfs.datanode.fsdataset.volume.choosing.policy is set to org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.datanode.fsdataset.AvailableSpaceVolumeChoosingPolicy. This setting controls what percentage of new block allocations will be sent to volumes with more available disk space than others. This setting should be in the range 0.0 - 1.0, though in practice 0.5 - 1.0, since there should be no reason to prefer that volumes with less available disk space receive more block allocations. |
| dfs.namenode.edits.noeditlogchannelflush |
false |
Specifies whether to flush edit log file channel. When set, expensive FileChannel#force calls are skipped and synchronous disk writes are enabled instead by opening the edit log file with RandomAccessFile("rws") flags. This can significantly improve the performance of edit log writes on the Windows platform. Note that the behavior of the "rws" flags is platform and hardware specific and might not provide the same level of guarantees as FileChannel#force. For example, the write will skip the disk-cache on SAS and SCSI devices while it might not on SATA devices. This is an expert level setting, change with caution. |
| dfs.client.cache.drop.behind.writes |
|
Just like dfs.datanode.drop.cache.behind.writes, this setting causes the page cache to be dropped behind HDFS writes, potentially freeing up more memory for other uses. Unlike dfs.datanode.drop.cache.behind.writes, this is a client-side setting rather than a setting for the entire datanode. If present, this setting will override the DataNode default. If the native libraries are not available to the DataNode, this configuration has no effect. |
| dfs.client.cache.drop.behind.reads |
|
Just like dfs.datanode.drop.cache.behind.reads, this setting causes the page cache to be dropped behind HDFS reads, potentially freeing up more memory for other uses. Unlike dfs.datanode.drop.cache.behind.reads, this is a client-side setting rather than a setting for the entire datanode. If present, this setting will override the DataNode default. If the native libraries are not available to the DataNode, this configuration has no effect. |
| dfs.client.cache.readahead |
|
Just like dfs.datanode.readahead.bytes, this setting causes the datanode to read ahead in the block file using posix_fadvise, potentially decreasing I/O wait times. Unlike dfs.datanode.readahead.bytes, this is a client-side setting rather than a setting for the entire datanode. If present, this setting will override the DataNode default. If the native libraries are not available to the DataNode, this configuration has no effect. |
| dfs.namenode.enable.retrycache |
true |
This enables the retry cache on the namenode. Namenode tracks for non-idempotent requests the corresponding response. If a client retries the request, the response from the retry cache is sent. Such operations are tagged with annotation @AtMostOnce in namenode protocols. It is recommended that this flag be set to true. Setting it to false, will result in clients getting failure responses to retried request. This flag must be enabled in HA setup for transparent fail-overs. The entries in the cache have expiration time configurable using dfs.namenode.retrycache.expirytime.millis. |
| dfs.namenode.retrycache.expirytime.millis |
600000 |
The time for which retry cache entries are retained. |
| dfs.namenode.retrycache.heap.percent |
0.03f |
This parameter configures the heap size allocated for retry cache (excluding the response cached). This corresponds to approximately 4096 entries for every 64MB of namenode process java heap size. Assuming retry cache entry expiration time (configured using dfs.namenode.retrycache.expirytime.millis) of 10 minutes, this enables retry cache to support 7 operations per second sustained for 10 minutes. As the heap size is increased, the operation rate linearly increases. |
