SocketTimeoutException when running hadoop distcp

I'm using hadoop distcp -update to copy directory from one HDFS cluster to different one. Sometime (pretty often) I get this kind of exception:

13/07/03 00:20:03 INFO tools.DistCp: srcPaths=[hdfs://HDFS1:51175/directory_X]
13/07/03 00:20:03 INFO tools.DistCp: destPath=hdfs://HDFS2:51175/directory_X

Does anyone has any idea what could it be? Using Hadoop 0.20.205.0

回答1:

Suggest to increase timeouts for both dfs.socket.timeout, for read timeout. And dfs.datanode.socket.write.timeout, for write timeout.

Default:

// Timeouts for communicating with DataNode for streaming writes/reads
public static int READ_TIMEOUT = 60 * 1000; // here, 69000 millis > 60000
public static int WRITE_TIMEOUT = 8 * 60 * 1000;

Add below in your hadoop-site.xml or hdfs-site.xml

<property>
  <name>dfs.datanode.socket.write.timeout</name>
  <value>3000000</value>
</property>

<property>
  <name>dfs.socket.timeout</name>
  <value>3000000</value>
</property>

Hope that helps.

I think you also want to set dfs.client.socket-timeout

回答3:

Here is why.
