 <p> The Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) allows the administrator to set quotas for the number of names used and the
 amount of space used for individual directories. Name quotas and space quotas operate independently, but the administration and
 implementation of the two types of quotas are closely parallel. </p>


 <a name="N10010"></a><a name="Name+Quotas"></a>
 <h2 class="h3">Name Quotas</h2>
 <div class="section">
 <p> The name quota is a hard limit on the number of file and directory names in the tree rooted at that directory. File and
 directory creations fail if the quota would be exceeded. Quotas stick with renamed directories; the rename operation fails if
 operation would result in a quota violation. The attempt to set a quota fails if the directory would be in violation of the new
 quota. A newly created directory has no associated quota. The largest quota is <span class="codefrag">Long.Max_Value</span>. A quota of one
 forces a directory to remain empty. (Yes, a directory counts against its own quota!) </p>
 <p> Quotas are persistent with the <span class="codefrag">fsimage</span>. When starting, if the <span class="codefrag">fsimage</span> is immediately in
 violation of a quota (perhaps the <span class="codefrag">fsimage</span> was surreptitiously modified),
 a warning is printed for each of such violations. Setting or removing a quota creates a journal entry. </p>
 </div>


 <a name="N10029"></a><a name="Space+Quotas"></a>
 <h2 class="h3">Space Quotas</h2>
 <div class="section">
 <p> The space quota is a hard limit on the number of bytes used by files in the tree rooted at that directory. Block
 allocations fail if the quota would not allow a full block to be written. Each replica of a block counts against the quota. Quotas
 stick with renamed directories; the rename operation fails if the operation would result in a quota violation. The attempt to
 set a quota fails if the directory would be in violation of the new quota. A newly created directory has no associated quota.
 The largest quota is <span class="codefrag">Long.Max_Value</span>. A quota of zero still permits files to be created, but no blocks can be added to the files.
 Directories don't use host file system space and don't count against the space quota. The host file system space used to save
 the file meta data is not counted against the quota. Quotas are charged at the intended replication factor for the file;
 changing the replication factor for a file will credit or debit quotas. </p>
 <p> Quotas are persistent with the <span class="codefrag">fsimage</span>. When starting, if the <span class="codefrag">fsimage</span> is immediately in
 violation of a quota (perhaps the <span class="codefrag">fsimage</span> was surreptitiously modified), a warning is printed for
 each of such violations. Setting or removing a quota creates a journal entry. </p>
 </div>


 <a name="N10042"></a><a name="Administrative+Commands"></a>
 <h2 class="h3">Administrative Commands</h2>
 <div class="section">
 <p> Quotas are managed by a set of commands available only to the administrator. </p>
 <ul>


 <li>
 <span class="codefrag">dfsadmin -setQuota &lt;N&gt; &lt;directory&gt;...&lt;directory&gt;</span>
 <br> Set the name quota to be <span class="codefrag">N</span> for
 each directory. Best effort for each directory, with faults reported if <span class="codefrag">N</span> is not a positive long integer, the
 directory does not exist or it is a file, or the directory would immediately exceed the new quota. </li>


 <li>
 <span class="codefrag">dfsadmin -clrQuota &lt;directory&gt;...&lt;director&gt;</span>
 <br> Remove any name quota for each directory. Best
 effort for each directory, with faults reported if the directory does not exist or it is a file. It is not a fault if the
 directory has no quota. </li>


 <li>
 <span class="codefrag">dfsadmin -setSpaceQuota &lt;N&gt; &lt;directory&gt;...&lt;directory&gt;</span>
 <br> Set the space quota to be
 N bytes for each directory. N can also be specified with a binary prefix for convenience, for e.g. 50g for 50 gigabytes and
 2t for 2 terabytes etc. Best effort for each directory, with faults reported if <span class="codefrag">N</span> is
 neither zero nor a positive integer, the directory does not exist or it is a file, or the directory would immediately exceed
 the new quota. </li>


 <li>
 <span class="codefrag">dfsadmin -clrSpaceQuota &lt;directory&gt;...&lt;director&gt;</span>
 <br> Remove any space quota for each directory. Best
 effort for each directory, with faults reported if the directory does not exist or it is a file. It is not a fault if the
 directory has no quota. </li>


 </ul>
 </div>


 <a name="N10076"></a><a name="Reporting+Command"></a>
 <h2 class="h3">Reporting Command</h2>
 <div class="section">
 <p> An an extension to the <span class="codefrag">count</span> command of the HDFS shell reports quota values and the current count of names and bytes in use. </p>
 <ul>


 <li>


 <span class="codefrag">fs -count -q &lt;directory&gt;...&lt;directory&gt;</span>
 <br> With the <span class="codefrag">-q</span> option, also report the name quota
 value set for each directory, the available name quota remaining, the space quota value set, and the available space quota
 remaining. If the directory does not have a quota set, the reported values are <span class="codefrag">none</span> and <span class="codefrag">inf</span>.

	<br> Set the name quota to be <span class="codefrag">N</span> for
	each directory. Best effort for each directory, with faults reported if <span class="codefrag">N</span> is not a positive long integer, the
	directory does not exist or it is a file, or the directory would immediately exceed the new quota. </li>


	<li>
	<span class="codefrag">dfsadmin -clrQuota <directory>...<director></span>
	<br> Remove any name quota for each directory. Best
	effort for each directory, with faults reported if the directory does not exist or it is a file. It is not a fault if the
	directory has no quota. </li>


	<li>
	<span class="codefrag">dfsadmin -setSpaceQuota <N> <directory>...<directory></span>
	<br> Set the space quota to be
	N bytes for each directory. N can also be specified with a binary prefix for convenience, for e.g. 50g for 50 gigabytes and
	2t for 2 terabytes etc. Best effort for each directory, with faults reported if <span class="codefrag">N</span> is
	neither zero nor a positive integer, the directory does not exist or it is a file, or the directory would immediately exceed
	the new quota. </li>


	<li>
	<span class="codefrag">dfsadmin -clrSpaceQuota <directory>...<director></span>
	<br> Remove any space quota for each directory. Best
	effort for each directory, with faults reported if the directory does not exist or it is a file. It is not a fault if the
