I got this in output so I just want to know what is BP, Blk? Can you explain me what each thing means in this output? I know the
BP-929597290-192.0.0.2-1439573305237:blk_1074084574_344316 len=2 repl=3 [DatanodeInfoWithStorage[192.0.0.9:1000,DS-730a75d3-046c-4254-990a-4eee9520424f,DISK], DatanodeInfoWithStorage[192.0.0.1:1000,DS-fc6ee5c7-e76b-4faa-b663-58a60240de4c,DISK], DatanodeInfoWithStorage[192.0.0.3:1000,DS-8ab81b26-309e-42d6-ae14-26eb88387cad,DISK]]
I guess 192.0.0.9:1000 this is the Ip of first replication of data
BP-929597290-192.0.0.2-1439573305237
This is Block Pool ID. Block pool is a set of blocks that belong to single name space. For simplicity, you can say that all the blocks managed by a Name Node are under the same Block Pool.
The Block Pool is formed as:
String bpid = "BP-" + rand + "-"+ ip + "-" + Time.now();
Where:
rand = Some random number
ip = IP address of the Name Node
Time.now() - Current system time
Read about Block Pools here: https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/stable/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/Federation.html
blk_1074084574_344316:
Block number of the block. Each block in HDFS is given a unique identifier.
The block ID is formed as:
blk_<blockid>_<genstamp>
Where:
blockid = ID of the block
genstamp = an incrementing integer that records the version of a particular block
Read about generation stamp here: http://blog.cloudera.com/blog/2009/07/file-appends-in-hdfs/
len=2
Length of the block: Number of bytes in the block
repl=3
There are 3 replicas of this block
DatanodeInfoWithStorage[192.0.0.9:1000,DS-730a75d3-046c-4254-990a-4eee9520424f,DISK
Where:
192.0.0.9 => IP address of the Data Node holding this block
1000 => Data streaming port
DS-730a75d3-046c-4254-990a-4eee9520424f => Storage ID. It is an internal ID of the Data Node. It is assigned, when the Data Node registers with Name Node
DISK => storageType. It is DISK here. Storage type can be: RAM_DISK, SSD, DISK and ARCHIVE
The description of point 5 applies to remaining 2 blocks:
DatanodeInfoWithStorage[192.0.0.1:1000,DS-fc6ee5c7-e76b-4faa-b663-58a60240de4c,DISK],
DatanodeInfoWithStorage[192.0.0.3:1000,DS-8ab81b26-309e-42d6-ae14-26eb88387cad,DISK]]
