Datanode daemon not running on Hadoop 2.5.0

Question

I'm setting Hadoop 2.5.0 on a single machine, I'm having problem with the datanode that is not running as shown by the jps command's output:

$ jps
3404 Jps
2661 NodeManager
2606 ResourceManager
2484 NameNode

When I try to run it manually I got this:

$HADOOP_HOME/sbin/hadoop-daemon.sh start datanode
starting datanode, logging to /home/arbi/Programs/hadoop-2.5.0/logs/hadoop-arbi-datanode-ElOued.out

Then still nothing, here is the content of hadoop-arbi-datanode-ElOued.out:

ulimit -a for user arbi

Also in http://oued.souf.dz:50070/dfshealth.html#tab-datanode there is no datanode that can be seen.

And when I submit hadoop jobs I see the following exception:

14/08/26 17:41:59 WARN mapreduce.JobSubmitter: Hadoop command-line option parsing not performed. Implement the Tool interface and execute your application with ToolRunner to remedy this.

This is a snapshot of the log file of the datanode:

Answer 1

I solved this problem by removing hadoop directory in tmp just in terminal

sudo rm -r /tmp/hadoop-<username>

then Format the filesystem and Start NameNode and DataNode now

*****@*****:/usr/local/hadoop$ jps
19013 SecondaryNameNode
18823 DataNode
19158 Jps
18701 NameNode

Answer 2

The problem was due to a difference between the cluster id of data node (../hadoop-2.5.0/hdfs/datanode/current/VERSION) and the cluster id in the namenode as in ../hadoop-2.5.0/hdfs/namenode/current/VERSION. I've just had to set to the same CID, but no idea what caused this difference, may be formatting HDFS many times via $HADOOP_HOME/bin/hdfs namenode -format.
