</ul><!-- markdown -->
<p>The Hadoop shell scripts have been rewritten to fix many long standing bugs and include some new features. While an eye has been kept towards compatibility, some changes may break existing installations.</p>
<p>INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:</p>
<ul>
<li>The pid and out files for secure daemons have been renamed to include the appropriate ${HADOOP_IDENT_STR}. This should allow, with proper configurations in place, for multiple versions of the same secure daemon to run on a host. Additionally, pid files are now created when daemons are run in interactive mode. This will also prevent the accidental starting of two daemons with the same configuration prior to launching java (i.e., &#x201c;fast fail&#x201d; without having to wait for socket opening).</li>
<li>All Hadoop shell script subsystems now execute hadoop-env.sh, which allows for all of the environment variables to be in one location. This was not the case previously.</li>
<li>The default content of *-env.sh has been significantly altered, with the majority of defaults moved into more protected areas inside the code. Additionally, these files do not auto-append anymore; setting a variable on the command line prior to calling a shell command must contain the entire content, not just any extra settings. This brings Hadoop more in-line with the vast majority of other software packages.</li>
<li>All HDFS_*, YARN_*, and MAPRED_* environment variables act as overrides to their equivalent HADOOP_* environment variables when &#x2018;hdfs&#x2019;, &#x2018;yarn&#x2019;, &#x2018;mapred&#x2019;, and related commands are executed. Previously, these were separated out which meant a significant amount of duplication of common settings.</li>
<li>hdfs-config.sh and hdfs-config.cmd were inadvertently duplicated into libexec and sbin. The sbin versions have been removed.</li>
<li>The log4j settings forcibly set by some *-daemon.sh commands have been removed. These settings are now configurable in the *-env.sh files via *_OPT.</li>
<li>Support for various undocumented YARN log4j.properties files has been removed.</li>
<li>Support for ${HADOOP_MASTER} and the related rsync code have been removed.</li>
<li>The undocumented and unused yarn.id.str Java property has been removed.</li>
<li>The unused yarn.policy.file Java property has been removed.</li>
<li>We now require bash v3 (released July 27, 2004) or better in order to take advantage of better regex handling and ${BASH_SOURCE}. POSIX sh will not work.</li>
<li>Support for &#x2013;script has been removed. We now use ${HADOOP_*_PATH} or ${HADOOP_PREFIX} to find the necessary binaries. (See other note regarding ${HADOOP_PREFIX} auto discovery.)</li>
<li>Non-existent classpaths, ld.so library paths, JNI library paths, etc, will be ignored and stripped from their respective environment settings.</li>
</ul>
<p>NEW FEATURES:</p>
<ul>
<li>Daemonization has been moved from *-daemon.sh to the bin commands via the &#x2013;daemon option. Simply use &#x2013;daemon start to start a daemon, &#x2013;daemon stop to stop a daemon, and &#x2013;daemon status to set $? to the daemon&#x2019;s status. The return code for status is LSB-compatible. For example, &#x2018;hdfs &#x2013;daemon start namenode&#x2019;.</li>
<li>It is now possible to override some of the shell code capabilities to provide site specific functionality without replacing the shipped versions. Replacement functions should go into the new hadoop-user-functions.sh file.</li>
<li>A new option called &#x2013;buildpaths will attempt to add developer build directories to the classpath to allow for in source tree testing.</li>
<li>Operations which trigger ssh connections can now use pdsh if installed. ${HADOOP_SSH_OPTS} still gets applied.</li>
<li>Added distch and jnipath subcommands to the hadoop command.</li>
<li>Shell scripts now support a &#x2013;debug option which will report basic information on the construction of various environment variables, java options, classpath, etc. to help in configuration debugging.</li>
</ul>
<p>BUG FIXES:</p>
<ul>
<li>${HADOOP_CONF_DIR} is now properly honored everywhere, without requiring symlinking and other such tricks.</li>
<li>${HADOOP_CONF_DIR}/hadoop-layout.sh is now documented with a provided hadoop-layout.sh.example file.</li>
<li>Shell commands should now work properly when called as a relative path, without ${HADOOP_PREFIX} being defined, and as the target of bash -x for debugging. If ${HADOOP_PREFIX} is not set, it will be automatically determined based upon the current location of the shell library. Note that other parts of the extended Hadoop ecosystem may still require this environment variable to be configured.</li>
<li>Operations which trigger ssh will now limit the number of connections to run in parallel to ${HADOOP_SSH_PARALLEL} to prevent memory and network exhaustion. By default, this is set to 10.</li>
<li>${HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS} support has been added to a few more commands.</li>
<li>Some subcommands were not listed in the usage.</li>
<li>Various options on hadoop command lines were supported inconsistently. These have been unified into hadoop-config.sh. &#x2013;config is still required to be first, however.</li>
<li>ulimit logging for secure daemons no longer assumes /bin/bash but does assume bash is on the command line path.</li>
<li>Removed references to some Yahoo! specific paths.</li>
<li>Removed unused slaves.sh from YARN build tree.</li>
<li>Many exit states have been changed to reflect reality.</li>
<li>Shell level errors now go to STDERR. Before, many of them went incorrectly to STDOUT.</li>
<li>CDPATH with a period (.) should no longer break the scripts.</li>
<li>The scripts no longer try to chown directories.</li>
<li>If ${JAVA_HOME} is not set on OS X, it now properly detects it instead of throwing an error.</li>
</ul>
<p>IMPROVEMENTS:</p>
<ul>
<li>The *.out files are now appended instead of overwritten to allow for external log rotation.</li>
<li>The style and layout of the scripts is much more consistent across subprojects.</li>
<li>More of the shell code is now commented.</li>
<li>Significant amounts of redundant code have been moved into a new file called hadoop-functions.sh.</li>
<li>The various *-env.sh have been massively changed to include documentation and examples on what can be set, ramifications of setting, etc. for all variables that are expected to be set by a user.</li>
<li>There is now some trivial de-duplication and sanitization of the classpath and JVM options. This allows, amongst other things, for custom settings in *_OPTS for Hadoop daemons to override defaults and other generic settings (i.e., ${HADOOP_OPTS}). This is particularly relevant for Xmx settings, as one can now set them in _OPTS and ignore the heap specific options for daemons which force the size in megabytes.</li>
<li>Subcommands have been alphabetized in both usage and in the code.</li>
<li>All/most of the functionality provided by the sbin/* commands has been moved to either their bin/ equivalents or made into functions. The rewritten versions of these commands are now wrappers to maintain backward compatibility.</li>
<li>Usage information is given with the following options/subcommands for all scripts using the common framework: &#x2013;? -? ? &#x2013;help -help -h help</li>
<li>Several generic environment variables have been added to provide a common configuration for pids, logs, and their security equivalents. The older versions still act as overrides to these generic versions.</li>
<li>Groundwork has been laid to allow for custom secure daemon setup using something other than jsvc (e.g., pfexec on Solaris).</li>
<li>Scripts now test and report better error messages for various states of the log and pid dirs on daemon startup. Before, unprotected shell errors would be displayed to the user.</li>

<ul>
<li>
<p>HADOOP_HEAPSIZE variable has been deprecated (It will still be honored if set, but expect it to go away in the future). In its place, HADOOP_HEAPSIZE_MAX and HADOOP_HEAPSIZE_MIN have been introduced to set Xmx and Xms, respectively.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The internal variable JAVA_HEAP_MAX has been removed.</p>
</li>
<li>

</ul>
<p>The memory values for mapreduce.map/reduce.memory.mb keys, if left to their default values of -1, will now be automatically inferred from the heap size value system property (-Xmx) specified for mapreduce.map/reduce.java.opts keys.</p>
<p>The converse is also done, i.e. if mapreduce.map/reduce.memory.mb values are specified, but no -Xmx is supplied for mapreduce.map/reduce.java.opts keys, then the -Xmx value will be derived from the former&#x2019;s value.</p>
<p>If neither is specified, then a default value of 1024 MB gets used.</p>
<p>For both these conversions, a scaling factor specified by property mapreduce.job.heap.memory-mb.ratio is used, to account for overheads between heap usage vs. actual physical memory usage.</p>
<p>Existing configs or job code that already specify both the set of properties explicitly would not be affected by this inferring change.</p><hr />

<p>HDFS-8829 introduces two new configuration settings: dfs.datanode.transfer.socket.send.buffer.size and dfs.datanode.transfer.socket.recv.buffer.size. These settings can be used to control the socket send buffer and receive buffer sizes respectively on the DataNode for client-DataNode and DataNode-DataNode connections. The default values of both settings are 128KB for backwards compatibility. For optimum performance it is recommended to set these values to zero to enable the OS networking stack to auto-tune buffer sizes.</p><hr />

</ul><!-- markdown -->
<p>HDFS now provides native support for erasure coding (EC) to store data more efficiently. Each individual directory can be configured with an EC policy with command <tt>hdfs erasurecode -setPolicy</tt>. When a file is created, it will inherit the EC policy from its nearest ancestor directory to determine how its blocks are stored. Compared to 3-way replication, the default EC policy saves 50% of storage space while also tolerating more storage failures.</p>
<p>To support small files, the currently phase of HDFS-EC stores blocks in <i>striped</i> layout, where a logical file block is divided into small units (64KB by default) and distributed to a set of DataNodes. This enables parallel I/O but also decreases data locality. Therefore, the cluster environment and I/O workloads should be considered before configuring EC policies.</p><hr />

For example, mapreduce.jobhistory.loadedtasks.cache.size=500000, heap size=6GB. 2) Make sure that the cache size is larger than the number of tasks required for the largest job run on the cluster. It might be a good idea to set the value slightly higher (say, 20%) in order to allow for job size growth.</p><hr />

<p>S3A has added support for configurable input policies. Similar to fadvise, this configuration provides applications with a way to specify their expected access pattern (sequential or random) while reading a file. S3A then performs optimizations tailored to that access pattern. See site documentation of the fs.s3a.experimental.input.fadvise configuration property for more details. Please be advised that this feature is experimental and subject to backward-incompatible changes in future releases.</p><hr />

</ul>
<p>The Disk Balancer lets administrators rebalance data across multiple disks of a DataNode. It is useful to correct skewed data distribution often seen after adding or replacing disks. Disk Balancer can be enabled by setting dfs.disk.balancer.enabled to true in hdfs-site.xml. It can be invoked by running &#x201c;hdfs diskbalancer&#x201d;. See the &#x201c;HDFS Diskbalancer&#x201d; section in the HDFS Commands guide for detailed usage.</p><hr />

</ul>
<p>We are introducing an early preview (alpha 1) of a major revision of YARN Timeline Service: v.2. YARN Timeline Service v.2 addresses two major challenges: improving scalability and reliability of Timeline Service, and enhancing usability by introducing flows and aggregation.</p>
<p>YARN Timeline Service v.2 alpha 1 is provided so that users and developers can test it and provide feedback and suggestions for making it a ready replacement for Timeline Service v.1.x. It should be used only in a test capacity. Most importantly, security is not enabled. Do not set up or use Timeline Service v.2 until security is implemented if security is a critical requirement.</p>

<p>Hdfs dfs chmod command will reset sticky bit permission on a file/directory when the leading sticky bit is omitted in the octal mode (like 644).

<p>This change introduces a new configuration key used by RPC server to decide whether to send backoff signal to RPC Client when RPC call queue is full. When the feature is enabled, RPC server will no longer block on the processing of RPC requests when RPC call queue is full. It helps to improve quality of service when the service is under heavy load. The configuration key is in the format of &#x201c;ipc.#port#.backoff.enable&#x201d; where #port# is the port number that RPC server listens on. For example, if you want to enable the feature for the RPC server that listens on 8020, set ipc.8020.backoff.enable to true.</p><hr />
