I build the TF 1.0 binary on centOS 8 for CPU. My distributed training code for MNIST data works fine if the Supervisor’s logdir is in local disk. But if I change Supervisor’s logdir to HDFS, the code will stuck at Supervisor’s initialization:
sv = tf.train.Supervisor(is_chief=(FLAGS.task_index == 0),
logdir='hdfs://cdh-2:8020/tmp/example',
global_step=global_step,
init_op=init_op)
I used gdb and found the C stack trace. It seems it has problems in _wrap_RecursivelyCreateDir()

I finally resolved this issue. In the How to run TensorFlow on Hadoop page, it stated that the paths of libjvm.so and libhdfs.so both should be in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. But in the hadoop distribution I am using, the libhdfs.so is not in $HADOOP_HDFS_HOME/lib/native folder. After I located the path of libhdfs.so on my cluster and appended it to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, the problem was resolved.
