Hi

I had a failure of one of the machines my JournalNode is running on.
I've restored that machine's setup and would like to attach her to the
existing JournalNode Quorum.

When I try to run it I get the following error:

 ERROR org.apache.hadoop.security.UserGroupInformation:
PriviledgedActionException as:hdfs (auth:SIMPLE)

How to fix this kind of issue? JournalNode directory looks as follows:

bash-4.1$ ls -R /hadoop/dfs/journalnode/
/hadoop/dfs/journalnode/:
hadoop-cluster

/hadoop/dfs/journalnode/hadoop-cluster:
current

/hadoop/dfs/journalnode/hadoop-cluster/current:
committed-txid  last-promised-epoch

So, there are no edits' files in there and the most reasonable way would
be to sync them in some way. The best solution that comes to mind is
stopping the cluster, copying over all the edits to the "new" server and
then starting journals again.

Is there an easier and on-line way to do that?
I'd appreciate some solution that would not require formatting nameNode :)

Regards
Marcin

You can rsync from one of your other JournalNodes into the correct
directory on the new one. You can safely do this while the old one is
running.  In the future, there will be a way to do this without using rsync.

cheers,
Colin
