What is the Fsimage in Hadoop?

FsImage is a file stored on the OS filesystem that contains the complete directory structure (namespace) of the HDFS with details about the location of the data on the Data Blocks and which blocks are stored on which node. This file is used by the NameNode when it is started.

What is Fsimage size?

On disk, the NameNode stores the metadata for the file system. This includes file and directory permissions, ownerships, and assigned blocks in the fsimage and the edit logs. Block size by default is 128 MB so you can do the calculation pertaining to how much RAM will support how many files.

What is FsImage and EditLog?

The FsImage and the EditLog are central data structures of HDFS. A corruption of these files can cause the HDFS instance to be non-functional. For this reason, the NameNode can be configured to support maintaining multiple copies of the FsImage and EditLog.

What is FsImage and EditLogs in Hadoop?

EditLogs is a transaction log that recorde the changes in the HDFS file system or any action performed on the HDFS cluster such as addtion of a new block, replication, deletion etc., It records the changes since the last FsImage was created, it then merges the changes into the FsImage file to create a new FsImage file.

Your HDFS state is stored in FSImage. All the changes (rename, delete, permission change) to last checkpoint will be stored in edit log. To avoid that the edit log to be too large sometimes the SN applies the changes from edit log in FSImage. That means FSImage stores your whole HDFS state not only from the last checkpoint.

How to analyse the fsimage data?

We can use Offline Image Viewer tool to view the fsimage data in a human readable format. Sometimes, this becomes more essential to analyse the fsimage to understand the usage pattern, how many 0 bite files are created, what is the space consumption pattern and is the fsimage corrupt.

What happens when SN merges fsimage and Edit Log?

FSImage shows you have a.txt and in edit log it stores you had two renames (a -> b, b -> c) After SN merges FSImage and edit log: Edit log will be empty and FSImage will show you have c.txt. There will be no any record for a.txt.

What are the different output formats for fsimage?

We can read the fsimage in several output formats. 1 .Web is the default output format. 4 .Reverse XML. 5 .FileDistribution is the tool for analyzing file sizes in the namespace image. In this blog I will focusing on two output formats Web and Delimiters.
