Description

The system checks the number of lost blocks every 30 seconds and compares the number of lost blocks with the threshold. The lost blocks indicator has a default threshold. This alarm is generated when the number of lost blocks exceeds the threshold.

This alarm is cleared when the number of lost blocks is less than or equal to the threshold.

Impact on the System

Data stored in HDFS is lost. HDFS may enter the safe mode and cannot provide write services. Lost block data cannot be restored.

Possible Causes

The DataNode instance is abnormal.
Data is deleted.

Procedure

Check the DataNode instance.
1. On the MRS cluster details page, choose Components > HDFS > Instances.
  
  For MRS 1.7.2 or earlier, log in to MRS Manager and choose Services > HDFS > Instances.
2. Check whether the status of all DataNode instances is Good.
  - If yes, go to 3.
  - If no, go to 1.c.
3. Restart the DataNode instance and check whether the restart is successful.
  - If yes, go to 2.b.
  - If no, go to 2.a.
Delete the damaged file.
1. Use the client on the cluster node. Run the hdfs fsck / -delete command to delete the lost file. Then rewrite the file and recover the data.
2. Wait 5 minutes and check whether the alarm is cleared.
  - If yes, no further action is required.
  - If no, go to 3.
Collect fault information.
1. On MRS Manager, choose System > Export Log.
2. Contact technical support engineers for help. For details, see technical support.
