Even though space was available why ISILON hdfs replying to the clients saying that QUOTA EXCEEDED? Later we added 1T to the limit. Everything started working. Please descriptiion and details below.

We had 10T hard limit on our hdfs root. When I ran

hdfs dfsadmin -report

it said 100% used up.


I have cleaned up close to 2T space on hdfs.

Still ISILON hdfs keeps replying back to the client saying Disk quota exceeded. But in fact spqace was available.

Error in the logs:

is4-1(id1) isi_hdfs_d: open() (for create RPC) on `/tmp/hadoop-yarn/staging/pcenteru/.staging/job_1422987739140_2873/job_1422987739140_2873_1.jhist' failed: Disk quota exceeded



Error to the client:

------------------------------

Later admin added 1T to the limit, things started working.

Could you please explain this error and behavior?


Thanks

Hello,

You need to check quota applied on path /ifs/is4/HDFS/elz_uat if quota was set with include overhead then it could be reason for the alert.

Thanks

The quote output provided appears healthy and doesn't look like this was the source of the exceeded quota message.  Per chughh's comment the output indicates overhead is not included, and the size shows either 4.5 or 5.4T of space either way, so about 50% usage.  So it is unclear if the increase to 11T of this quota actually resolved things, or just coincided with some cleanup that cleared the alert.

From the error message:

The DiskSpace quota of /tmp/hadoop-yarn/staging/pcenteru

This seems to indicate there is another quota that is being violated here, and to Dodgy1's comment, the hadoop job is tossing around some temp files as part of the job that is exceeding a quota that probably shouldn't be there.

Are there other directory quotas set?

Hi,

Do you have any "sub" quotas set for the Hadoop /tmp directory or lower sub directories?

regards
