Locating Cloudera Manager HDFS config files

I've installed a cluster via Cloudera Manager, and now I need to launch the cluster manually.

I've been using the following command:

$ sudo -u hdfs hadoop namenode / datanode / jobtracker

But then the dfs.name.dir is set up /tmp. I can't seem to find where cloudera manager has the HDFS config files. The ones in /usr/lib/hadoop-02*/conf seem to be minimal. They're missing the dfs.name.dir which is what I'm looking for particularly. I'm on an RHLE 6 system, by the way. Being lazy, I though I could just copy over cloudera manager's HDFS config files, so I don't have to manually create them, the copy them over to 6 nodes :)

Thanks

Solution

  • Using CentOS 6.5, the Cloudera Manager special files do not show up in a SEARCH FILES result because their permissions are set to hide from all but the 'hdfs' user. In addition, there are multiple versions of hdfs-site.xml on the local drive some of which have partial amounts of real settings. The actual settings file is in the DATANODE folder not the NAMENODE folder as evidenced by the lack of dfs.datanode.data.dir values in the latter.
