How to remove instance of accumulo?


I have created a instance while initializing accumulo by calling accumulo init But now i want to remove that instance and as well i want to create a new instance. Can any one help to do this?


Solution

  • Remove the directory specified by the instance.dfs.dir property in $ACCUMULO_HOME/conf/accumulo-site.xml from HDFS.

    If you did not specify an instance.dfs.dir in accumulo-site.xml, the default is "/accumulo".

    You should then be able to call accumulo init with success.
