version of this configuration file
dfs.namenode.rpc-address

RPC address that handles all clients requests. In the case of HA/Federation where multiple namenodes exist, the name service id is added to the name e.g. dfs.namenode.rpc-address.ns1 dfs.namenode.rpc-address.EXAMPLENAMESERVICE The value of this property will take the form of nn-host1:rpc-port.
dfs.namenode.rpc-bind-host

The actual address the RPC server will bind to. If this optional address is set, it overrides only the hostname portion of dfs.namenode.rpc-address. It can also be specified per name node or name service for HA/Federation. This is useful for making the name node listen on all interfaces by setting it to 0.0.0.0.
dfs.namenode.servicerpc-address

RPC address for HDFS Services communication. BackupNode, Datanodes and all other services should be connecting to this address if it is configured. In the case of HA/Federation where multiple namenodes exist, the name service id is added to the name e.g. dfs.namenode.servicerpc-address.ns1 dfs.namenode.rpc-address.EXAMPLENAMESERVICE The value of this property will take the form of nn-host1:rpc-port. If the value of this property is unset the value of dfs.namenode.rpc-address will be used as the default.
dfs.namenode.servicerpc-bind-host

The actual address the service RPC server will bind to. If this optional address is set, it overrides only the hostname portion of dfs.namenode.servicerpc-address. It can also be specified per name node or name service for HA/Federation. This is useful for making the name node listen on all interfaces by setting it to 0.0.0.0.
dfs.namenode.lifeline.rpc-address

NameNode RPC lifeline address. This is an optional separate RPC address that can be used to isolate health checks and liveness to protect against resource exhaustion in the main RPC handler pool. In the case of HA/Federation where multiple NameNodes exist, the name service ID is added to the name e.g. dfs.namenode.lifeline.rpc-address.ns1. The value of this property will take the form of nn-host1:rpc-port. If this property is not defined, then the NameNode will not start a lifeline RPC server. By default, the property is not defined.
dfs.namenode.lifeline.rpc-bind-host

The actual address the lifeline RPC server will bind to. If this optional address is set, it overrides only the hostname portion of dfs.namenode.lifeline.rpc-address. It can also be specified per name node or name service for HA/Federation. This is useful for making the name node listen on all interfaces by setting it to 0.0.0.0.

dfs.namenode.http-bind-host

The actual adress the HTTP server will bind to. If this optional address is set, it overrides only the hostname portion of dfs.namenode.http-address. It can also be specified per name node or name service for HA/Federation. This is useful for making the name node HTTP server listen on all interfaces by setting it to 0.0.0.0.
dfs.namenode.heartbeat.recheck-interval
300000
This time decides the interval to check for expired datanodes. With this value and dfs.heartbeat.interval, the interval of deciding the datanode is stale or not is also calculated. The unit of this configuration is millisecond.
dfs.http.policy

It can also be specified per name node or name service for HA/Federation. This is useful for making the name node HTTPS server listen on all interfaces by setting it to 0.0.0.0.
dfs.datanode.dns.interface
default
The name of the Network Interface from which a data node should report its IP address. e.g. eth2. This setting may be required for some multi-homed nodes where the DataNodes are assigned multiple hostnames and it is desirable for the DataNodes to use a non-default hostname. Prefer using hadoop.security.dns.interface over dfs.datanode.dns.interface.
dfs.datanode.dns.nameserver
default

dfs.datanode.du.reserved.calculator
org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.datanode.fsdataset.impl.ReservedSpaceCalculator$ReservedSpaceCalculatorAbsolute
Determines the class of ReservedSpaceCalculator to be used for calculating disk space reservedfor non-HDFS data. The default calculator is ReservedSpaceCalculatorAbsolute which will use dfs.datanode.du.reserved for a static reserved number of bytes. ReservedSpaceCalculatorPercentage will use dfs.datanode.du.reserved.pct to calculate the reserved number of bytes based on the size of the storage. ReservedSpaceCalculatorConservative and ReservedSpaceCalculatorAggressive will use their combination, Conservative will use maximum, Aggressive minimum. For more details see ReservedSpaceCalculator.
dfs.datanode.du.reserved
0
Reserved space in bytes per volume. Always leave this much space free for non dfs use. Specific storage type based reservation is also supported. The property can be followed with corresponding storage types ([ssd]/[disk]/[archive]/[ram_disk]) for cluster with heterogeneous storage. For example, reserved space for RAM_DISK storage can be configured using property 'dfs.datanode.du.reserved.ram_disk'. If specific storage type reservation is not configured then dfs.datanode.du.reserved will be used.
dfs.datanode.du.reserved.pct
0
Reserved space in percentage. Read dfs.datanode.du.reserved.calculator to see when this takes effect. The actual number of bytes reserved will be calculated by using the total capacity of the data directory in question. Specific storage type based reservation is also supported. The property can be followed with corresponding storage types ([ssd]/[disk]/[archive]/[ram_disk]) for cluster with heterogeneous storage. For example, reserved percentage space for RAM_DISK storage can be configured using property 'dfs.datanode.du.reserved.pct.ram_disk'. If specific storage type reservation is not configured then dfs.datanode.du.reserved.pct will be used.
dfs.namenode.name.dir
Determines where on the local filesystem the DFS name node should store the name table(fsimage). If this is a comma-delimited list of directories then the name table is replicated in all of the directories, for redundancy.
dfs.namenode.name.dir.restore
false
Set to true to enable NameNode to attempt recovering a previously failed dfs.namenode.name.dir. When enabled, a recovery of any failed directory is attempted during checkpoint.
dfs.namenode.fs-limits.max-component-length
255
Defines the maximum number of bytes in UTF-8 encoding in each component of a path. A value of 0 will disable the check.
dfs.namenode.fs-limits.max-directory-items
1048576
Defines the maximum number of items that a directory may contain. Cannot set the property to a value less than 1 or more than 6400000.
dfs.namenode.fs-limits.min-block-size
1048576
Minimum block size in bytes, enforced by the Namenode at create time. This prevents the accidental creation of files with tiny block sizes (and thus many blocks), which can degrade performance.
dfs.namenode.fs-limits.max-blocks-per-file
1048576
Maximum number of blocks per file, enforced by the Namenode on write. This prevents the creation of extremely large files which can degrade performance.
dfs.namenode.edits.dir
${dfs.namenode.name.dir}
Determines where on the local filesystem the DFS name node should store the transaction   (edits) file. If this is a comma-delimited list of directories then the transaction file is replicated in all of the directories, for redundancy. Default value is same as dfs.namenode.name.dir
dfs.namenode.edits.dir.required

This should be a subset of dfs.namenode.edits.dir, to ensure that the transaction (edits) file in these places is always up-to-date.
dfs.namenode.shared.edits.dir

A directory on shared storage between the multiple namenodes in an HA cluster. This directory will be written by the active and read by the standby in order to keep the namespaces synchronized. This directory does not need to be listed in dfs.namenode.edits.dir above. It should be left empty in a non-HA cluster.
dfs.namenode.edits.journal-plugin.qjournal
org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.qjournal.client.QuorumJournalManager

dfs.permissions.enabled
true
If "true", enable permission checking in HDFS. If "false", permission checking is turned off, but all other behavior is unchanged. Switching from one parameter value to the other does not change the mode, owner or group of files or directories.
dfs.permissions.superusergroup
supergroup
The name of the group of super-users. The value should be a single group name.
dfs.cluster.administrators

ACL for the admins, this configuration is used to control who can access the default servlets in the namenode, etc. The value should be a comma separated list of users and groups. The user list comes first and is separated by a space followed by the group list, e.g. "user1,user2 group1,group2". Both users and groups are optional, so "user1", " group1", "", "user1 group1", "user1,user2 group1,group2" are all valid (note the leading space in " group1"). '*' grants access to all users and groups, e.g. '*', '* ' and ' *' are all valid.
dfs.namenode.acls.enabled
false
Set to true to enable support for HDFS ACLs (Access Control Lists). By default, ACLs are disabled. When ACLs are disabled, the NameNode rejects all RPCs related to setting or getting ACLs.
dfs.namenode.lazypersist.file.scrub.interval.sec
300
The NameNode periodically scans the namespace for LazyPersist files with missing blocks and unlinks them from the namespace. This configuration key controls the interval between successive scans. Set it to a negative value to disable this behavior.
dfs.block.access.token.enable
false
If "true", access tokens are used as capabilities for accessing datanodes. If "false", no access tokens are checked on accessing datanodes.
dfs.block.access.key.update.interval
600
Interval in minutes at which namenode updates its access keys.
dfs.block.access.token.lifetime
600
The lifetime of access tokens in minutes.
dfs.datanode.data.dir
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. The directories should be tagged with corresponding storage types ([SSD]/[DISK]/[ARCHIVE]/[RAM_DISK]) for HDFS storage policies. The default storage type will be DISK if the directory does not have a storage type tagged explicitly. Directories that do not exist will be created if local filesystem permission allows.
dfs.datanode.data.dir.perm
700
Permissions for the directories on on the local filesystem where the DFS data node store its blocks. The permissions can either be octal or symbolic.
dfs.replication
3
Default block replication. The actual number of replications can be specified when the file is created. The default is used if replication is not specified in create time.
dfs.replication.max
512
Maximal block replication.
dfs.namenode.replication.min
1
Minimal block replication.
dfs.namenode.maintenance.replication.min
1
Minimal live block replication in existence of maintenance mode.
dfs.namenode.safemode.replication.min

a separate minimum replication factor for calculating safe block count. This is an expert level setting. Setting this lower than the dfs.namenode.replication.min is not recommend and/or dangerous for production setups. When it's not set it takes value from dfs.namenode.replication.min
dfs.namenode.max-corrupt-file-blocks-returned
100
The maximum number of corrupt file blocks listed by NameNode Web UI, JMX and other client request.
dfs.blocksize
134217728
The default block size for new files, in bytes. You can use the following suffix (case insensitive): k(kilo), m(mega), g(giga), t(tera), p(peta), e(exa) to specify the size (such as 128k, 512m, 1g, etc.), Or provide complete size in bytes (such as 134217728 for 128 MB).
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.client.block.write.replace-datanode-on-failure.best-effort
false
This property is used only if the value of dfs.client.block.write.replace-datanode-on-failure.enable is true. Best effort means that the client will try to replace a failed datanode in write pipeline (provided that the policy is satisfied), however, it continues the write operation in case that the datanode replacement also fails. Suppose the datanode replacement fails. false: An exception should be thrown so that the write will fail. true : The write should be resumed with the remaining datandoes. Note that setting this property to true allows writing to a pipeline with a smaller number of datanodes. As a result, it increases the probability of data loss.
dfs.client.block.write.replace-datanode-on-failure.min-replication
0
The minimum number of replications that are needed to not to fail the write pipeline if new datanodes can not be found to replace failed datanodes (could be due to network failure) in the write pipeline. If the number of the remaining datanodes in the write pipeline is greater than or equal to this property value, continue writing to the remaining nodes. Otherwise throw exception. If this is set to 0, an exception will be thrown, when a replacement can not be found. See also dfs.client.block.write.replace-datanode-on-failure.policy
dfs.blockreport.intervalMsec
21600000
Determines block reporting interval in milliseconds.
dfs.blockreport.initialDelay
0
Delay for first block report in seconds.
dfs.blockreport.split.threshold
1000000
If the number of blocks on the DataNode is below this threshold then it will send block reports for all Storage Directories in a single message. If the number of blocks exceeds this threshold then the DataNode will send block reports for each Storage Directory in separate messages. Set to zero to always split.
dfs.namenode.max.full.block.report.leases
6
The maximum number of leases for full block reports that the NameNode will issue at any given time. This prevents the NameNode from being flooded with full block reports that use up all the RPC handler threads. This number should never be more than the number of RPC handler threads or less than 1.
dfs.namenode.full.block.report.lease.length.ms
300000
The number of milliseconds that the NameNode will wait before invalidating a full block report lease. This prevents a crashed DataNode from permanently using up a full block report lease.
dfs.datanode.directoryscan.interval
21600
Interval in seconds for Datanode to scan data directories and reconcile the difference between blocks in memory and on the disk.
dfs.datanode.directoryscan.threads
1
How many threads should the threadpool used to compile reports for volumes in parallel have.
dfs.datanode.directoryscan.throttle.limit.ms.per.sec
1000
The report compilation threads are limited to only running for a given number of milliseconds per second, as configured by the property. The limit is taken per thread, not in aggregate, e.g. setting a limit of 100ms for 4 compiler threads will result in each thread being limited to 100ms, not 25ms. Note that the throttle does not interrupt the report compiler threads, so the actual running time of the threads per second will typically be somewhat higher than the throttle limit, usually by no more than 20%. Setting this limit to 1000 disables compiler thread throttling. Only values between 1 and 1000 are valid. Setting an invalid value will result in the throttle being disabled and an error message being logged. 1000 is the default setting.
dfs.heartbeat.interval
3
Determines datanode heartbeat interval in seconds.
dfs.datanode.lifeline.interval.seconds

Sets the interval in seconds between sending DataNode Lifeline Protocol messages from the DataNode to the NameNode. The value must be greater than the value of dfs.heartbeat.interval. If this property is not defined, then the default behavior is to calculate the interval as 3x the value of dfs.heartbeat.interval. Note that normal heartbeat processing may cause the DataNode to postpone sending lifeline messages if they are not required. Under normal operations with speedy heartbeat processing, it is possible that no lifeline messages will need to be sent at all. This property has no effect if dfs.namenode.lifeline.rpc-address is not defined.
dfs.namenode.handler.count
10
The number of Namenode RPC server threads that listen to requests from clients. If dfs.namenode.servicerpc-address is not configured then Namenode RPC server threads listen to requests from all nodes.
dfs.namenode.service.handler.count
10
The number of Namenode RPC server threads that listen to requests from DataNodes and from all other non-client nodes. dfs.namenode.service.handler.count will be valid only if dfs.namenode.servicerpc-address is configured.
dfs.namenode.lifeline.handler.ratio
0.10
A ratio applied to the value of dfs.namenode.handler.count, which then provides the number of RPC server threads the NameNode runs for handling the lifeline RPC server. For example, if dfs.namenode.handler.count is 100, and dfs.namenode.lifeline.handler.factor is 0.10, then the NameNode starts 100 * 0.10 = 10 threads for handling the lifeline RPC server. It is common to tune the value of dfs.namenode.handler.count as a function of the number of DataNodes in a cluster. Using this property allows for the lifeline RPC server handler threads to be tuned automatically without needing to touch a separate property. Lifeline message processing is lightweight, so it is expected to require many fewer threads than the main NameNode RPC server. This property is not used if dfs.namenode.lifeline.handler.count is defined, which sets an absolute thread count. This property has no effect if dfs.namenode.lifeline.rpc-address is not defined.
dfs.namenode.lifeline.handler.count

Sets an absolute number of RPC server threads the NameNode runs for handling the DataNode Lifeline Protocol and HA health check requests from ZKFC. If this property is defined, then it overrides the behavior of dfs.namenode.lifeline.handler.ratio. By default, it is not defined. This property has no effect if dfs.namenode.lifeline.rpc-address is not defined.
dfs.namenode.safemode.threshold-pct
0.999f
Specifies the percentage of blocks that should satisfy the minimal replication requirement defined by dfs.namenode.replication.min. Values less than or equal to 0 mean not to wait for any particular percentage of blocks before exiting safemode. Values greater than 1 will make safe mode permanent.
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. Support multiple time unit suffix (case insensitive), as described in dfs.heartbeat.interval.
dfs.namenode.resource.check.interval
5000
The interval in milliseconds at which the NameNode resource checker runs. The checker calculates the number of the NameNode storage volumes whose available spaces are more than dfs.namenode.resource.du.reserved, and enters safemode if the number becomes lower than the minimum value specified by dfs.namenode.resource.checked.volumes.minimum.
dfs.namenode.resource.du.reserved
104857600
The amount of space to reserve/require for a NameNode storage directory in bytes. The default is 100MB.
dfs.namenode.resource.checked.volumes

A list of local directories for the NameNode resource checker to check in addition to the local edits directories.
dfs.namenode.resource.checked.volumes.minimum
1
The minimum number of redundant NameNode storage volumes required.
dfs.datanode.balance.bandwidthPerSec
10m
Specifies the maximum amount of bandwidth that each datanode can utilize for the balancing purpose in term of the number of bytes per second. You can use the following suffix (case insensitive): k(kilo), m(mega), g(giga), t(tera), p(peta), e(exa)to specify the size (such as 128k, 512m, 1g, etc.). Or provide complete size in bytes (such as 134217728 for 128 MB).
dfs.hosts

Names a file that contains a list of hosts that are permitted to connect to the namenode. The full pathname of the file must be specified. If the value is empty, all hosts are permitted.
dfs.hosts.exclude

Names a file that contains a list of hosts that are not permitted to connect to the namenode. The full pathname of the file must be specified. If the value is empty, no hosts are excluded.
dfs.namenode.max.objects
0
The maximum number of files, directories and blocks dfs supports. A value of zero indicates no limit to the number of objects that dfs supports.
dfs.namenode.datanode.registration.ip-hostname-check
true
If true (the default), then the namenode requires that a connecting datanode's address must be resolved to a hostname. If necessary, a reverse DNS lookup is performed. All attempts to register a datanode from an unresolvable address are rejected. It is recommended that this setting be left on to prevent accidental registration of datanodes listed by hostname in the excludes file during a DNS outage. Only set this to false in environments where there is no infrastructure to support reverse DNS lookup.
dfs.namenode.decommission.interval
30
Namenode periodicity in seconds to check if decommission or maintenance is complete. Support multiple time unit suffix(case insensitive), as described in dfs.heartbeat.interval.
dfs.namenode.decommission.blocks.per.interval
500000
The approximate number of blocks to process per decommission or maintenance interval, as defined in dfs.namenode.decommission.interval.
dfs.namenode.decommission.max.concurrent.tracked.nodes
100
The maximum number of decommission-in-progress or entering-maintenance datanodes nodes that will be tracked at one time by the namenode. Tracking these datanode consumes additional NN memory proportional to the number of blocks on the datnode. Having a conservative limit reduces the potential impact of decommissioning or maintenance of a large number of nodes at once. A value of 0 means no limit will be enforced.
dfs.namenode.replication.interval
3
The periodicity in seconds with which the namenode computes replication work for datanodes.
dfs.namenode.accesstime.precision
3600000
The access time for HDFS file is precise upto this value. The default value is 1 hour. Setting a value of 0 disables access times for HDFS.
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.namenode.block-placement-policy.default.prefer-local-node
true
Controls how the default block placement policy places the first replica of a block. When true, it will prefer the node where the client is running. When false, it will prefer a node in the same rack as the client. Setting to false avoids situations where entire copies of large files end up on a single node, thus creating hotspots.
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.
dfs.bytes-per-checksum
512
The number of bytes per checksum. Must not be larger than dfs.stream-buffer-size
dfs.client-write-packet-size
65536
Packet size for clients to write
dfs.client.write.exclude.nodes.cache.expiry.interval.millis
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
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 directories then the edits is replicated in all of the directories 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 (fsimage_*) that will be retained by the NameNode and Secondary NameNode in their storage directories. All edit logs (stored on edits_* files) 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. It does not translate directly to file's age, or the number of files kept, but to the number of transactions (here "edits" means transactions). One edit file may contain several transactions (edits). During checkpoint, NameNode will identify the total number of edits to retain as extra by checking the latest checkpoint transaction value, subtracted by the value of this property. Then, it scans edits files to identify the older ones that don't include the computed range of retained transactions that are to be kept around, and purges them subsequently. The retainment 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
60000
Socket timeout for the HttpURLConnection instance used in the image transfer. This is measured in milliseconds. This timeout prevents client hangs if the connection is idle for this configured timeout, during image transfer.
dfs.image.transfer.bandwidthPerSec
0
Maximum bandwidth used for regular image transfers (instead of bootstrapping the standby namenode), in bytes per second. This can help keep normal namenode operations responsive during checkpointing. A default value of 0 indicates that throttling is disabled. The maximum bandwidth used for bootstrapping standby namenode is configured with dfs.image.transfer-bootstrap-standby.bandwidthPerSec.
dfs.image.transfer-bootstrap-standby.bandwidthPerSec
0
Maximum bandwidth used for transferring image to bootstrap standby namenode, in bytes   per second. A default value of 0 indicates that throttling is disabled. This default value should be used in most cases, to ensure timely HA operations. The maximum bandwidth used for regular image transfers is configured with dfs.image.transfer.bandwidthPerSec.
dfs.image.transfer.chunksize
65536
Chunksize in bytes to upload the checkpoint. Chunked streaming is used to avoid internal buffering of contents of image file of huge size.
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.scan.period.hours
504
If this is positive, the DataNode will not scan any individual block more than once in the specified scan period. If this is negative, the block scanner is disabled. If this is set to zero, then the default value of 504 hours or 3 weeks is used. Prior versions of HDFS incorrectly documented that setting this key to zero will disable the block scanner.
dfs.block.scanner.volume.bytes.per.second
1048576
If this is 0, the DataNode's block scanner will be disabled. If this is positive, this is the number of bytes per second that the DataNode's block scanner will try to scan from each volume.
dfs.datanode.readahead.bytes
4194304
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 space 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 space 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.client.datanode-restart.timeout
30
Expert only. The time to wait, in seconds, from reception of an datanode shutdown notification for quick restart, until declaring the datanode dead and invoking the normal recovery mechanisms. The notification is sent by a datanode when it is being shutdown using the shutdownDatanode admin command with the upgrade option.
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.internal.nameservices

Comma-separated list of nameservices that belong to this cluster. Datanode will report to all the nameservices in this list. By default this is set to the value of dfs.nameservices.
dfs.ha.namenodes.EXAMPLENAMESERVICE

The prefix for a given nameservice, contains a comma-separated list of namenodes for a given nameservice (eg EXAMPLENAMESERVICE). Unique identifiers for each NameNode in the nameservice, delimited by commas. This will be used by DataNodes to determine all the NameNodes in the cluster. For example, if you used “mycluster” as the nameservice ID previously, and you wanted to use “nn1” and “nn2” as the individual IDs of the NameNodes, you would configure a property dfs.ha.namenodes.mycluster, and its value "nn1,nn2".
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.tail-edits.rolledits.timeout
60
The timeout in seconds of calling rollEdits RPC on Active NN.
dfs.ha.automatic-failover.enabled
false
Whether automatic failover is enabled. See the HDFS High Availability documentation for details on automatic HA configuration.
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.datanode.shared.file.descriptor.paths
/dev/shm,/tmp
A comma-separated list of paths to use when creating file descriptors that will be shared between the DataNode and the DFSClient. Typically we use /dev/shm, so that the file descriptors will not be written to disk. Systems that don't have /dev/shm will fall back to /tmp by default.
dfs.short.circuit.shared.memory.watcher.interrupt.check.ms
60000
The length of time in milliseconds that the short-circuit shared memory watcher will go between checking for java interruptions sent from other threads. This is provided mainly for unit tests.
dfs.namenode.kerberos.principal

The NameNode service principal. This is typically set to nn/_HOST@REALM.TLD. Each NameNode will substitute _HOST with its own fully qualified hostname at startup. The _HOST placeholder allows using the same configuration setting on both NameNodes in an HA setup.
dfs.namenode.keytab.file

The keytab file used by each NameNode daemon to login as its service principal. The principal name is configured with dfs.namenode.kerberos.principal.
dfs.datanode.kerberos.principal

The DataNode service principal. This is typically set to dn/_HOST@REALM.TLD. Each DataNode will substitute _HOST with its own fully qualified hostname at startup. The _HOST placeholder allows using the same configuration setting on all DataNodes.
dfs.datanode.keytab.file

The keytab file used by each DataNode daemon to login as its service principal. The principal name is configured with dfs.datanode.kerberos.principal.
dfs.journalnode.kerberos.principal

The JournalNode service principal. This is typically set to jn/_HOST@REALM.TLD. Each JournalNode will substitute _HOST with its own fully qualified hostname at startup. The _HOST placeholder allows using the same configuration setting on all JournalNodes.
dfs.journalnode.keytab.file

The keytab file used by each JournalNode daemon to login as its service principal. The principal name is configured with dfs.journalnode.kerberos.principal.
dfs.namenode.kerberos.internal.spnego.principal
${dfs.web.authentication.kerberos.principal}
The server principal used by the NameNode for web UI SPNEGO authentication when Kerberos security is enabled. This is typically set to HTTP/_HOST@REALM.TLD The SPNEGO server principal begins with the prefix HTTP/ by convention. If the value is '*', the web server will attempt to login with every principal specified in the keytab file dfs.web.authentication.kerberos.keytab.
dfs.journalnode.kerberos.internal.spnego.principal

The server principal used by the JournalNode HTTP Server for SPNEGO authentication when Kerberos security is enabled. This is typically set to HTTP/_HOST@REALM.TLD. The SPNEGO server principal begins with the prefix HTTP/ by convention. If the value is '*', the web server will attempt to login with every principal specified in the keytab file dfs.web.authentication.kerberos.keytab. For most deployments this can be set to ${dfs.web.authentication.kerberos.principal} i.e use the value of dfs.web.authentication.kerberos.principal.
dfs.secondary.namenode.kerberos.internal.spnego.principal
${dfs.web.authentication.kerberos.principal}
The server principal used by the Secondary NameNode for web UI SPNEGO authentication when Kerberos security is enabled. Like all other Secondary NameNode settings, it is ignored in an HA setup. If the value is '*', the web server will attempt to login with every principal specified in the keytab file dfs.web.authentication.kerberos.keytab.
dfs.web.authentication.kerberos.principal

The server principal used by the NameNode for WebHDFS SPNEGO authentication. Required when WebHDFS and security are enabled. In most secure clusters this setting is also used to specify the values for dfs.namenode.kerberos.internal.spnego.principal and dfs.journalnode.kerberos.internal.spnego.principal.
dfs.web.authentication.kerberos.keytab

The keytab file for the principal corresponding to dfs.web.authentication.kerberos.principal.
dfs.namenode.kerberos.principal.pattern
*
A client-side RegEx that can be configured to control allowed realms to authenticate with (useful in cross-realm env.)
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 in milliseconds 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.
nfs.server.port
2049
Specify the port number used by Hadoop NFS.
nfs.mountd.port
4242
Specify the port number used by Hadoop mount daemon.
nfs.dump.dir
/tmp/.hdfs-nfs
This directory is used to temporarily save out-of-order writes before writing to HDFS. For each file, the out-of-order writes are dumped after they are accumulated to exceed certain threshold (e.g., 1MB) in memory. One needs to make sure the directory has enough space.
nfs.rtmax
1048576
This is the maximum size in bytes of a READ request supported by the NFS gateway. If you change this, make sure you also update the nfs mount's rsize(add rsize= # of bytes to the mount directive).
nfs.wtmax
1048576
This is the maximum size in bytes of a WRITE request supported by the NFS gateway. If you change this, make sure you also update the nfs mount's wsize(add wsize= # of bytes to the mount directive).
nfs.keytab.file

*Note*: Advanced property. Change with caution. This is the path to the keytab file for the hdfs-nfs gateway. This is required when the cluster is kerberized.
nfs.kerberos.principal

*Note*: Advanced property. Change with caution. This is the name of the kerberos principal. This is required when the cluster is kerberized.It must be of this format: nfs-gateway-user/nfs-gateway-host@kerberos-realm
nfs.allow.insecure.ports
true
When set to false, client connections originating from unprivileged ports (those above 1023) will be rejected. This is to ensure that clients connecting to this NFS Gateway must have had root privilege on the machine where they're connecting from.
dfs.webhdfs.enabled
true
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.namenode.metrics.logger.period.seconds
600
This setting controls how frequently the NameNode logs its metrics. The logging configuration must also define one or more appenders for NameNodeMetricsLog for the metrics to be logged. NameNode metrics logging is disabled if this value is set to zero or less than zero.
dfs.datanode.metrics.logger.period.seconds
600
This setting controls how frequently the DataNode logs its metrics. The logging configuration must also define one or more appenders for DataNodeMetricsLog for the metrics to be logged. DataNode metrics logging is disabled if this value is set to zero or less than zero.
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.datanode.peer.stats.enabled
false
A switch to turn on/off tracking DataNode peer statistics.
dfs.datanode.outliers.report.interval
1800000
This setting controls how frequently DataNodes will report their peer latencies to the NameNode via heartbeats. This setting supports multiple time unit suffixes as described in dfs.heartbeat.interval. If no suffix is specified then milliseconds is assumed. It is ignored if   dfs.datanode.peer.stats.enabled is false.
dfs.datanode.fileio.profiling.sampling.percentage
0
This setting controls the percentage of file I/O events which will be profiled for DataNode disk statistics. The default value of 0 disables disk statistics. Set to an integer value between 1 and 100 to enable disk statistics.
hadoop.user.group.metrics.percentiles.intervals

A comma-separated list of the granularity in seconds for the metrics which describe the 50/75/90/95/99th percentile latency for group resolution in milliseconds. 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. It is possible to override this setting per connection by specifying custom logic via dfs.trustedchannel.resolver.class.
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. Note that if AES is supported by both the client and server then this encryption algorithm will only be used to initially transfer keys for AES. (See dfs.encrypt.data.transfer.cipher.suites.)
dfs.encrypt.data.transfer.cipher.suites

This value may be either undefined or AES/CTR/NoPadding. If defined, then dfs.encrypt.data.transfer uses the specified cipher suite for data encryption. If not defined, then only the algorithm specified in dfs.encrypt.data.transfer.algorithm is used. By default, the property is not defined.
dfs.encrypt.data.transfer.cipher.key.bitlength
128
The key bitlength negotiated by dfsclient and datanode for encryption. This value may be set to either 128, 192 or 256.
dfs.trustedchannel.resolver.class

TrustedChannelResolver is used to determine whether a channel is trusted for plain data transfer. The TrustedChannelResolver is invoked on both client and server side. If the resolver indicates that the channel is trusted, then the data transfer will not be encrypted even if dfs.encrypt.data.transfer is set to true. The default implementation returns false indicating that the channel is not trusted.
dfs.data.transfer.protection

A comma-separated list of SASL protection values used for secured connections to the DataNode when reading or writing block data. Possible values are authentication, integrity and privacy. authentication means authentication only and no integrity or privacy; integrity implies authentication and integrity are enabled; and privacy implies all of authentication, integrity and privacy are enabled. If dfs.encrypt.data.transfer is set to true, then it supersedes the setting for dfs.data.transfer.protection and enforces that all connections must use a specialized encrypted SASL handshake. This property is ignored for connections to a DataNode listening on a privileged port. In this case, it is assumed that the use of a privileged port establishes sufficient trust.
dfs.data.transfer.saslproperties.resolver.class

SaslPropertiesResolver used to resolve the QOP used for a connection to the DataNode when reading or writing block data. If not specified, the value of hadoop.security.saslproperties.resolver.class is used as the default value.
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.millis
1000
Timeout (in milliseconds) for the parallel RPCs made in DistributedFileSystem#getFileBlockStorageLocations().
dfs.journalnode.rpc-address
0.0.0.0:8485
The JournalNode RPC server address and port.
dfs.journalnode.rpc-bind-host

The actual address the RPC server will bind to. If this optional address is set, it overrides only the hostname portion of dfs.journalnode.rpc-address. This is useful for making the JournalNode listen on all interfaces by setting it to 0.0.0.0.
dfs.journalnode.http-address
0.0.0.0:8480
The address and port the JournalNode HTTP server listens on. If the port is 0 then the server will start on a free port.
dfs.journalnode.http-bind-host

The actual address the HTTP server will bind to. If this optional address is set, it overrides only the hostname portion of dfs.journalnode.http-address. This is useful for making the JournalNode HTTP server listen on allinterfaces by setting it to 0.0.0.0.
dfs.journalnode.https-address
0.0.0.0:8481
The address and port the JournalNode HTTPS server listens on. If the port is 0 then the server will start on a free port.
dfs.journalnode.https-bind-host

The actual address the HTTP server will bind to. If this optional address is set, it overrides only the hostname portion of dfs.journalnode.https-address. This is useful for making the JournalNode HTTP server listen on all interfaces by setting it to 0.0.0.0.
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.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

When using remote reads, 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. When using local reads, this setting determines how much readahead we do in BlockReaderLocal. If the native libraries are not available to the DataNode, this configuration has no effect.
dfs.client.server-defaults.validity.period.ms
3600000
The amount of milliseconds after which cached server defaults are updated. By default this parameter is set to 1 hour.
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.
dfs.client.mmap.enabled
true
If this is set to false, the client won't attempt to perform memory-mapped reads.
dfs.client.mmap.cache.size
256
When zero-copy reads are used, the DFSClient keeps a cache of recently used memory mapped regions. This parameter controls the maximum number of entries that we will keep in that cache. The larger this number is, the more file descriptors we will potentially use for memory-mapped files. mmaped files also use virtual address space. You may need to increase your ulimit virtual address space limits before increasing the client mmap cache size. Note that you can still do zero-copy reads when this size is set to 0.
dfs.client.mmap.cache.timeout.ms
3600000
The minimum length of time that we will keep an mmap entry in the cache between uses. If an entry is in the cache longer than this, and nobody uses it, it will be removed by a background thread.
dfs.client.mmap.retry.timeout.ms
300000
The minimum amount of time that we will wait before retrying a failed mmap operation.
dfs.client.short.circuit.replica.stale.threshold.ms
1800000
The maximum amount of time that we will consider a short-circuit replica to be valid, if there is no communication from the DataNode. After this time has elapsed, we will re-fetch the short-circuit replica even if it is in the cache.
dfs.namenode.path.based.cache.block.map.allocation.percent
0.25
The percentage of the Java heap which we will allocate to the cached blocks map. The cached blocks map is a hash map which uses chained hashing. Smaller maps may be accessed more slowly if the number of cached blocks is large; larger maps will consume more memory.
dfs.datanode.max.locked.memory
0
The amount of memory in bytes to use for caching of block replicas in memory on the datanode. The datanode's maximum locked memory soft ulimit (RLIMIT_MEMLOCK) must be set to at least this value, else the datanode will abort on startup. By default, this parameter is set to 0, which disables in-memory caching. If the native libraries are not available to the DataNode, this configuration has no effect.
dfs.namenode.list.cache.directives.num.responses
100
This value controls the number of cache directives that the NameNode will send over the wire in response to a listDirectives RPC.
dfs.namenode.list.cache.pools.num.responses

dfs.namenode.path.based.cache.retry.interval.ms
30000
When the NameNode needs to uncache something that is cached, or cache something that   is not cached, it must direct the DataNodes to do so by sending a DNA_CACHE or DNA_UNCACHE command in response to a DataNode heartbeat. This parameter controls how frequently the NameNode will resend these commands.
dfs.datanode.fsdatasetcache.max.threads.per.volume
4
The maximum number of threads per volume to use for caching new data on the datanode. These threads consume both I/O and CPU. This can affect normal datanode operations.
dfs.cachereport.intervalMsec
10000
Determines cache reporting interval in milliseconds. After this amount of time, the DataNode sends a full report of its cache state to the NameNode. The NameNode uses the cache report to update its map of cached blocks to DataNode locations. This configuration has no effect if in-memory caching has been disabled by setting dfs.datanode.max.locked.memory to 0 (which is the default). If the native libraries are not available to the DataNode, this configuration has no effect.
dfs.namenode.edit.log.autoroll.multiplier.threshold
2.0
Determines when an active namenode will roll its own edit log. The actual threshold (in number of edits) is determined by multiplying this value by dfs.namenode.checkpoint.txns. This prevents extremely large edit files from accumulating on the active namenode, which can cause timeouts during namenode startup and pose an administrative hassle. This behavior is intended as a failsafe for when the standby or secondary namenode fail to roll the edit log by the normal checkpoint threshold.
dfs.namenode.edit.log.autoroll.check.interval.ms
300000
How often an active namenode will check if it needs to roll its edit log, in milliseconds.

Valid pattern for user and group names in webhdfs acl operations, it must be a valid java regex.
dfs.webhdfs.socket.connect-timeout
60s
Socket timeout for connecting to WebHDFS servers. This prevents a WebHDFS client from hanging if the server hostname is misconfigured, or the server does not response before the timeout expires. Value is followed by a unit specifier: ns, us, ms, s, m, h, d for nanoseconds, microseconds, milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, days respectively. Values should provide units, but milliseconds are assumed.
dfs.webhdfs.socket.read-timeout
60s
Socket timeout for reading data from WebHDFS servers. This prevents a WebHDFS client from hanging if the server stops sending data. Value is followed by a unit specifier: ns, us, ms, s, m, h, d for nanoseconds, microseconds, milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, days respectively. Values should provide units, but milliseconds are assumed.
dfs.client.context
default
The name of the DFSClient context that we should use. Clients that share a context share a socket cache and short-circuit cache, among other things. You should only change this if you don't want to share with another set of threads.
dfs.client.read.shortcircuit
false
This configuration parameter turns on short-circuit local reads.
dfs.client.socket.send.buffer.size
0
Socket send buffer size for a write pipeline in DFSClient side. This may affect TCP connection throughput. If it is set to zero or negative value, no buffer size will be set explicitly, thus enable tcp auto-tuning on some system. The default value is 0.
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.client.read.shortcircuit.skip.checksum
false
If this configuration parameter is set, short-circuit local reads will skip checksums. This is normally not recommended, but it may be useful for special setups. You might consider using this if you are doing your own checksumming outside of HDFS.
dfs.client.read.shortcircuit.streams.cache.size
256
The DFSClient maintains a cache of recently opened file descriptors. This parameter controls the maximum number of file descriptors in the cache. Setting this higher will use more file descriptors, but potentially provide better performance on workloads involving lots of seeks.
dfs.client.read.shortcircuit.streams.cache.expiry.ms
300000
This controls the minimum amount of time file descriptors need to sit in the client cache context before they can be closed for being inactive for too long.
dfs.datanode.shared.file.descriptor.paths
/dev/shm,/tmp

A comma separated list of NameNode commands that are written to the HDFS namenode audit log only if the audit log level is debug.
dfs.client.use.legacy.blockreader.local
false
Legacy short-circuit reader implementation based on HDFS-2246 is used if this configuration parameter is true. This is for the platforms other than Linux where the new implementation based on HDFS-347 is not available.
dfs.block.local-path-access.user

Comma separated list of the users allowed to open block files on legacy short-circuit local read.
dfs.client.domain.socket.data.traffic
false
This control whether we will try to pass normal data traffic over UNIX domain socket rather than over TCP socket on node-local data transfer. This is currently experimental and turned off by default.
dfs.namenode.reject-unresolved-dn-topology-mapping
false
If the value is set to true, then namenode will reject datanode registration if the topology mapping for a datanode is not resolved and NULL is returned (script defined by net.topology.script.file.name fails to execute). Otherwise, datanode will be registered and the default rack will be assigned as the topology path. Topology paths are important for data resiliency, since they define fault domains. Thus it may be unwanted behavior to allow datanode registration with the default rack if the resolving topology failed.
dfs.client.slow.io.warning.threshold.ms
30000
The threshold in milliseconds at which we will log a slow io warning in a dfsclient. By default, this parameter is set to 30000 milliseconds (30 seconds).
dfs.datanode.slow.io.warning.threshold.ms
300
The threshold in milliseconds at which we will log a slow io warning in a datanode. By default, this parameter is set to 300 milliseconds.

2000
During the release of lease a lock is hold that make any operations on the namenode stuck. In order to not block them during a too long duration we stop releasing lease after this max lock limit.
dfs.namenode.max-lock-hold-to-release-lease-ms
25
During the release of lease a lock is hold that make any operations on the namenode stuck. In order to not block them during a too long duration we stop releasing lease after this max lock limit.
dfs.namenode.write-lock-reporting-threshold-ms
5000
When a write lock is held on the namenode for a long time, this will be logged as the lock is released. This sets how long the lock must be held for logging to occur.
dfs.namenode.read-lock-reporting-threshold-ms
5000
When a read lock is held on the namenode for a long time, this will be logged as the lock is released. This sets how long the lock must be held for logging to occur.
dfs.namenode.lock.detailed-metrics.enabled
false
If true, the namenode will keep track of how long various operations hold the Namesystem lock for and emit this as metrics. These metrics have names of the form FSN(Read|Write)LockNanosOperationName, where OperationName denotes the name of the operation that initiated the lock hold (this will be OTHER for certain uncategorized operations) and they export the hold time values in nanoseconds.
dfs.namenode.fslock.fair
true
If this is true, the FS Namesystem lock will be used in Fair mode, which will help to prevent writer threads from being starved, but can provide lower lock throughput. See java.util.concurrent.locks.ReentrantReadWriteLock for more information on fair/non-fair locks.
dfs.namenode.startup.delay.block.deletion.sec
0
The delay in seconds at which we will pause the blocks deletion after Namenode startup. By default it's disabled. In the case a directory has large number of directories and files are deleted, suggested delay is one hour to give the administrator enough time to notice large number of pending deletion blocks and take corrective action.
dfs.namenode.list.encryption.zones.num.responses
100
When listing encryption zones, the maximum number of zones that will be returned in a batch. Fetching the list incrementally in batches improves namenode performance.
dfs.namenode.list.openfiles.num.responses
1000

3000
When KeyProvider is configured, the time delayed until the first attempt to warm up edek cache on NN start up / become active.
dfs.namenode.inotify.max.events.per.rpc
1000
Maximum number of events that will be sent to an inotify client in a single RPC response. The default value attempts to amortize away the overhead for this RPC while avoiding huge memory requirements for the client and NameNode (1000 events should consume no more than 1 MB.)
dfs.user.home.dir.prefix
/user
The directory to prepend to user name to get the user's home direcotry.
dfs.datanode.cache.revocation.timeout.ms
900000
When the DFSClient reads from a block file which the DataNode is caching, the DFSClient can skip verifying checksums. The DataNode will keep the block file in cache until the client is done. If the client takes an unusually long time, though, the DataNode may need to evict the block file from the cache anyway. This value controls how long the DataNode will wait for the client to release a replica that it is reading without checksums.
dfs.datanode.cache.revocation.polling.ms
500
How often the DataNode should poll to see if the clients have stopped using a replica that the DataNode wants to uncache.
dfs.datanode.block.id.layout.upgrade.threads

dfs.namenode.quota.init-threads
4
The number of concurrent threads to be used in quota initialization. The speed of quota initialization also affects the namenode fail-over latency. If the size of name space is big, try increasing this.
dfs.datanode.transfer.socket.send.buffer.size
0
Socket send buffer size for DataXceiver (mirroring packets to downstream in pipeline). This may affect TCP connection throughput. If it is set to zero or negative value, no buffer size will be set explicitly, thus enable tcp auto-tuning on some system. The default value is 0.
dfs.datanode.transfer.socket.recv.buffer.size
0
Socket receive buffer size for DataXceiver (receiving packets from client during block writing). This may affect TCP connection throughput. If it is set to zero or negative value, no buffer size will be set explicitly, thus enable tcp auto-tuning on some system. The default value is 0.
dfs.namenode.upgrade.domain.factor
${dfs.replication}
This is valid only when block placement policy is set to BlockPlacementPolicyWithUpgradeDomain. It defines the number of unique upgrade domains any block's replicas should have. When the number of replicas is less or equal to this value, the policy ensures each replica has an unique upgrade domain. When the number of replicas is greater than this value, the policy ensures the number of unique domains is at least this value.
dfs.ha.zkfc.port
8019
RPC port for Zookeeper Failover Controller.
dfs.datanode.bp-ready.timeout
20
The maximum wait time for datanode to be ready before failing the received request. Setting this to 0 fails requests right away if the datanode is not yet registered with the namenode. This wait time reduces initial request failures after datanode restart.
dfs.datanode.cached-dfsused.check.interval.ms
600000
The interval check time of loading DU_CACHE_FILE in each volume. When the cluster doing the rolling upgrade operations, it will usually lead dfsUsed cache file of each volume expired and redo the du operations in datanode and that makes datanode start slowly. Adjust this property can make cache file be available for the time as you want.
dfs.webhdfs.rest-csrf.enabled
false
If true, then enables WebHDFS protection against cross-site request forgery (CSRF). The WebHDFS client also uses this property to determine whether or not it needs to send the custom CSRF prevention header in its HTTP requests.

X-XSRF-HEADER
The name of a custom header that HTTP requests must send when protection against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) is enabled for WebHDFS by setting dfs.webhdfs.rest-csrf.enabled to true. The WebHDFS client also uses this property to determine whether or not it needs to send the custom CSRF prevention header in its HTTP requests.
dfs.webhdfs.rest-csrf.methods-to-ignore
GET,OPTIONS,HEAD,TRACE
A comma-separated list of HTTP methods that do not require HTTP requests to include a custom header when protection against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) is enabled for WebHDFS by setting dfs.webhdfs.rest-csrf.enabled to true. The WebHDFS client also uses this property to determine whether or not it needs to send the custom CSRF prevention header in its HTTP requests.
dfs.webhdfs.rest-csrf.browser-useragents-regex
^Mozilla.*,^Opera.*
A comma-separated list of regular expressions used to match against an HTTP request's User-Agent header when protection against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) is enabled for WebHDFS by setting dfs.webhdfs.reset-csrf.enabled to true. If the incoming User-Agent matches any of these regular expressions, then the request is considered to be sent   by a browser, and therefore CSRF prevention is enforced. If the request's User-Agent does not match any of these regular expressions, then the request is considered to be sent by something other than a browser, such as scripted automation. In this case, CSRF is not a potential attack vector, so the prevention is not enforced. This helps achieve backwards-compatibility with existing automation that has not been updated to send the CSRF prevention header.
dfs.xframe.enabled
true
If true, then enables protection against clickjacking by returning X_FRAME_OPTIONS header value set to SAMEORIGIN. Clickjacking protection prevents an attacker from using transparent or opaque layers to trick a user into clicking on a button or link on another page.
dfs.xframe.value
SAMEORIGIN
This configration value allows user to specify the value for the X-FRAME-OPTIONS. The possible values for this field are DENY, SAMEORIGIN and ALLOW-FROM. Any other value will throw an exception when namenode and datanodes are starting up.
dfs.http.client.retry.policy.enabled
false
If "true", enable the retry policy of WebHDFS client. If "false", retry policy is turned off. Enabling the retry policy can be quite useful while using WebHDFS to copy large files between clusters that could timeout, or copy files between HA clusters that could failover during the copy.
dfs.http.client.retry.policy.spec
10000,6,60000,10
Specify a policy of multiple linear random retry for WebHDFS client, e.g. given pairs of number of retries and sleep time (n0, t0), (n1, t1), ..., the first n0 retries sleep t0 milliseconds on average, the following n1 retries sleep t1 milliseconds on average, and so on.

Total size in bytes of Datanode blocks to get when fetching a source's block list.
dfs.balancer.block-move.timeout
0
Maximum amount of time in milliseconds for a block to move. If this is set greater than 0, Balancer will stop waiting for a block move completion after this time. In typical clusters, a 3 to 5 minute timeout is reasonable. If timeout happens to a large proportion of block moves, this needs to be increased. It could also be that too much work is dispatched and many nodes are constantly exceeding the bandwidth limit as a result. In that case, other balancer parameters might need to be adjusted. It is disabled (0) by default.
dfs.balancer.max-no-move-interval
60000
If this specified amount of time has elapsed and no block has been moved out of a source DataNode, on more effort will be made to move blocks out of this DataNode in the current Balancer iteration.

10000
Maximum number of blocks to process for initializing replication queues.
dfs.block.replicator.classname

Class representing block placement policy for non-striped files. There are four block placement policies currently being supported: BlockPlacementPolicyDefault, BlockPlacementPolicyWithNodeGroup, BlockPlacementPolicyRackFaultTolerant and BlockPlacementPolicyWithUpgradeDomain. BlockPlacementPolicyDefault chooses the desired number of targets for placing block replicas in a default way. BlockPlacementPolicyWithNodeGroup places block replicas on environment with node-group layer. BlockPlacementPolicyRackFaultTolerant places the replicas to more racks. BlockPlacementPolicyWithUpgradeDomain places block replicas that honors upgrade domain policy. The details of placing replicas are documented in the javadoc of the corresponding policy classes. The default policy is BlockPlacementPolicyDefault, and the corresponding class is org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.blockmanagement.BlockPlacementPolicyDefault.
