under folder - /var/hadoop/zookeeper/version-2/
we can see that Zookeeper transaction logs and snapshot files are created very frequently (multiple files in every minute) and that fills up the Filesystem in a very short time.
ROOT CAUSE
One or more application are creating or modifying the znodes too frequently, causing too many transactions in a short duration. This leads to the creation of too many transactional log files and snapshot files since they get rolled over after 100,000 entries by default (as defined by zookeeper property 'snapCount')

when we opened one of the log as - log.57002a026b we saw encrypted log
any suggestion how to unencrypted the logs above ?
or how to know which is the application thatcreating or modifying the znodes too frequently ?
PROBLEM
Zookeeper transaction logs and snapshot files are created very frequently (multiple files in every minute) and that fills up the FileSystem in a very short time.
ROOT CAUSE
One or more application are creating or modifying the znodes too frequently, causing too many transactions in a short duration. This leads to the creation of too many transactional log files and snapshot files since they get rolled over after 100,000 entries by default (as defined by zookeeper property 'snapCount')
RESOLUTION
The resolution for such cases involves reviewing the zookeeper transaction logs to find the znodes that are updated/created most frequently using the following command on one of the zookeeper servers:
# cd /usr/hdp/current/zookeeper-server
# java -cp zookeeper.jar:lib/* org.apache.zookeeper.server.LogFormatter /hadoop/zookeeper/version-2/logxxx
(where 'dataDir' is set to '/hadoop/zookeeper' within zookeeper configuration)
Once the frequently updating znodes are identified using the above command, one should continue with fixing the related application that is creating such a large number of updates on zookeeper.
An example of such an application that can cause this problem is Hbase, when there are very large number of regions stuck in transition and they repeatedly fail to become online.

I am trying to add another node to a Production cassandra cluster as the disc space utilization across nodes is reaching over 90%. However, the node is in joining state for over 2 days. I also noticed that one of the node went down(DN) as it is at 100% disc space utilization. Cassandra server is unable to run on this instance!!
Will this affect bootstrapping completion of the new node?
Any immediate solutions for restoring space on the node that went down?
If I remove this out of the ring, this may add more stress of data load and increase disc space on the other nodes.
Can I remove any SSTable(like the list of files) temporarily out of the instance, bring up the server, perform clean-up and then add back these files?

If you are using vnodes then downed node will surelyimpact bootstrapping. For immediate relife, identify tables which are not used in traffic and move sstables to backup from that table.
I resolved this by temporarily increasing the EBS volume(disc space)on that node, brought up the server, then removed the node out of the cluster, cleared out cassandra data folders, decreased the EBS Volume and then added back the node to the cluster.
One thing that I noticed was removing the node out of the cluster, increased disc space on the other nodes. So I added additional nodes to distribute the load, then ran clean up on all other nodes before moving on to removing the node out of the cluster.
Using HDP 2.5.3 and I've been trying to debug some YARN container classpath issues.
Since HDP includes both Spark 1.6 and 2.0.0, there have been some conflicting versions
Users I support are successfully able to use Spark2 with Hive queries in YARN client mode, but not from cluster mode they get errors about tables not found, or something like that because the Metastore connection isn't established.
I am guessing that setting either --driver-class-path /etc/spark2/conf:/etc/hive/conf or passing --files /etc/spark2/conf/hive-site.xml after spark-submit would work, but why isn't hive-site.xml loaded already from the conf folder?
Accoringing to Hortonworks docs, says hive-site should be placed in $SPARK_HOME/conf, and it is...
I see hdfs-site.xml and core-site.xml, and other files that are part of HADOOP_CONF_DIR, for example, and this is the from the YARN UI container info.

As you might see, hive-site is not there, even though I definitely have conf/hive-site.xml for spark-submit to take

So, I don't think I am supposed to place hive-site in HADOOP_CONF_DIR as HIVE_CONF_DIR is separated, but my question is that how do we get Spark2 to pick up the hive-site.xml without needing to manually pass it as a parameter at runtime?
EDIT Naturally, since I'm on HDP I am using Ambari. The previous cluster admin has installed Spark2 clients on all of the machines, so all of the YARN NodeManagers that could be potential Spark drivers should have the same config files
You can use spark property - spark.yarn.dist.files and specify path to hive-site.xml there.
The way I understand it, in local or yarn-client modes...
the Launcher checks whether it needs Kerberos tokens for HDFS, YARN, Hive, HBase
> hive-site.xml is searched in the CLASSPATH by the Hive/Hadoop client libs (including in driver.extraClassPath because the Driver runs inside the Launcher and the merged CLASSPATH is already built at this point)
the Driver checks which kind of metastore to use for internal purposes: a standalone metastore backed by a volatile Derby instance, or a regular Hive metastore
> that's $SPARK_CONF_DIR/hive-site.xml
when using the Hive interface, a Metastore connection is used to read/write Hive metadata in the Driver
> hive-site.xml is searched in the CLASSPATH by the Hive/Hadoop client libs (and the Kerberos token is used, if any)
So you can have one hive-site.xml stating that Spark should use an embedded, in-memory Derby instance to use as a sandbox (in-memory implying "stop leaving all these temp files behind you") while another hive-site.xml gives the actual Hive Metastore URI. And all is well.
Now, in yarn-cluster mode, all that mechanism pretty much explodes in a nasty, undocumented mess.
The Launcher needs its own CLASSPATH settings to create the Kerberos tokens, otherwise it fails silently. Better go to the source code to find out which undocumented Env variable you shoud use.
It may also need an override in some properties because the hard-coded defaults suddenly are not the defaults any more (silently).
The Driver cannot tap the original $SPARK_CONF_DIR, it has to rely on what the Launcher has made available for upload. Does that include a copy of $SPARK_CONF_DIR/hive-site.xml? Looks like it's not the case.
So you are probably using a Derby thing as a stub.
And the Driver has to to do with whatever YARN has forced on the container CLASSPATH, in whatever order.
Besides, the driver.extraClassPath additions do NOT take precedence by default; for that you have to force spark.yarn.user.classpath.first=true (which is translated to the standard Hadoop property whose exact name I can't remember right now, especially since there are multiple props with similar names that may be deprecated and/or not working in Hadoop 2.x)
Think that's bad? Try out connecting to a Kerberized HBase in yarn-cluster mode. The connection is done in the Executors, that's another layer of nastyness. But I disgress.
Bottom line: start your diagnostic again.
A. Are you really, really sure that the mysterious "Metastore connection errors" are caused by missing properties, and specifically the Metastore URI?
B. By the way, are your users explicitly using a HiveContext???
C. What is exactly the CLASSPATH that YARN presents to the Driver JVM, and what is exactly the CLASSPATH that the Driver presents to the Hadoop libs when opening the Metastore connection?
D. If the CLASSPATH built by YARN is messed up for some reason, what would be the minimal fix -- change in precedence rules? addition? both?
In the cluster mode configuration is read from the conf directory of the machine, which runs the driver container, not the one use for spark-submit.

I'm trying to upgrade from Cassandra to the latest Datastax Enterprise and everything went fine except the fact I can't get my data back.
Basically, I had a clean cassandra after the upgrade, then I recreated the schema and trying to somehow link the files that are left from old db to the new db.

I tried to copy all the stuff from here to the users-f41a5300dd5611e58bc7b7a748b1d9c2/ directory and run nodetool repair or nodetool refresh -- wowch users but had no success — the data is still not loaded.
Did I forget something? What is the right way of doing it and how to get the data back?
Depending on the version of Cassandra/DSE you were previously running you may need to run a nodetool upgradesstables. You can see the documentation here.
https://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/2.0/cassandra/tools/toolsUpgradeSstables.html
It's possible that you've run into this issue but without more info I can't say for sure.
You also haven't provided info on which version you started with and ended. A little more info would be very helpful. Can you also clarify - are you upgrading from community Cassandra to DSE? I couldn't tell from the way your question was worded.
Stuff to check: Do you have the token assignments from the old version? I didn't use vnodes and I found that I had to manually set initial_token in cassandra.yaml after a backup/restore of my cluster. Make sure that cassandra owns all of the dirs and files. After you import the schema, stop DSE and then empty the contents of the commitlog directory. move your data if necessary into the new folders and then restart DSE. Hope this helps.
Hello I am trying to setup Joomla. When I try to change some settings through the Global Settings Manager, and then save, I keep getting and error saying I can't write to that file.
I have tried playing around with the settings and file permissions even changing them to 755, and it still won't let me write to the file.
I have the owner set to 'root.root' and am running Fedora 18.
I have it installed on localhost, and not through FTP.
Why can't I write to these files (like configuration.php), is there something I am missing?
Joomla does not tell me what file I am trying to write to, but I assume if I'm editing Global Settings it attempts to write to configuration.php.
here is the output of ls -l /var/www/html/joomla

And output of ls -ld joomla/
drwxr-xr-x. 18 apache apache 4096 Dec 6 05:57 joomla/
Also, running the command tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log I get this
PHP Warning: file_put_contents(/var/www/html/joomla/configuration.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/html/joomla/libraries/joomla/filesystem/file.php on line 422, referer: http://localhost/administrator/index.php?option=com_config
After digging a bit deeper into the problem. I discovered that SELinux was blocking r/w access to httpd. This could be seen when running
ls -aLZ joomla
By running the command you would see that all files would show up to be
httpd_sys_content_t
When they really should be
httpd_sys_rw_content_t
Running a simple
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_rw_t /var/www/html/joomla/
AND VOILA! Problem Solved.
Thank you everyone for the help, and I hope someone else can benefit from this in the near future.
Try restarting the webserver?
As the permission must get reflected.
