- <p> The Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) allows the administrator to set quotas for the number of names used and the
- amount of space used for individual directories. Name quotas and space quotas operate independently, but the administration and
- implementation of the two types of quotas are closely parallel. </p>
- <a name="N10010"></a><a name="Name+Quotas"></a>
- <h2 class="h3">Name Quotas</h2>
- <div class="section">
- <p> The name quota is a hard limit on the number of file and directory names in the tree rooted at that directory. File and
- directory creations fail if the quota would be exceeded. Quotas stick with renamed directories; the rename operation fails if
- operation would result in a quota violation. The attempt to set a quota fails if the directory would be in violation of the new
- quota. A newly created directory has no associated quota. The largest quota is <span class="codefrag">Long.Max_Value</span>. A quota of one
- forces a directory to remain empty. (Yes, a directory counts against its own quota!) </p>
- <p> Quotas are persistent with the <span class="codefrag">fsimage</span>. When starting, if the <span class="codefrag">fsimage</span> is immediately in
- violation of a quota (perhaps the <span class="codefrag">fsimage</span> was surreptitiously modified),
- a warning is printed for each of such violations. Setting or removing a quota creates a journal entry. </p>
- </div>
- <a name="N10029"></a><a name="Space+Quotas"></a>
- <h2 class="h3">Space Quotas</h2>
- <div class="section">
- <p> The space quota is a hard limit on the number of bytes used by files in the tree rooted at that directory. Block
- allocations fail if the quota would not allow a full block to be written. Each replica of a block counts against the quota. Quotas
- stick with renamed directories; the rename operation fails if the operation would result in a quota violation. The attempt to
- set a quota fails if the directory would be in violation of the new quota. A newly created directory has no associated quota.
- The largest quota is <span class="codefrag">Long.Max_Value</span>. A quota of zero still permits files to be created, but no blocks can be added to the files.
- Directories don't use host file system space and don't count against the space quota. The host file system space used to save
- the file meta data is not counted against the quota. Quotas are charged at the intended replication factor for the file;
- changing the replication factor for a file will credit or debit quotas. </p>
- <p> Quotas are persistent with the <span class="codefrag">fsimage</span>. When starting, if the <span class="codefrag">fsimage</span> is immediately in
- violation of a quota (perhaps the <span class="codefrag">fsimage</span> was surreptitiously modified), a warning is printed for
- each of such violations. Setting or removing a quota creates a journal entry. </p>
- </div>
- <a name="N10042"></a><a name="Administrative+Commands"></a>
- <h2 class="h3">Administrative Commands</h2>
- <div class="section">
- <p> Quotas are managed by a set of commands available only to the administrator. </p>
- <ul>
-
- <li>
- <span class="codefrag">dfsadmin -setQuota <N> <directory>...<directory></span>
- <br> Set the name quota to be <span class="codefrag">N</span> for
- each directory. Best effort for each directory, with faults reported if <span class="codefrag">N</span> is not a positive long integer, the
- directory does not exist or it is a file, or the directory would immediately exceed the new quota. </li>
-
- <li>
- <span class="codefrag">dfsadmin -clrQuota <directory>...<director></span>
- <br> Remove any name quota for each directory. Best
- effort for each directory, with faults reported if the directory does not exist or it is a file. It is not a fault if the
- directory has no quota. </li>
-
- <li>
- <span class="codefrag">dfsadmin -setSpaceQuota <N> <directory>...<directory></span>
- <br> Set the space quota to be
- N bytes for each directory. N can also be specified with a binary prefix for convenience, for e.g. 50g for 50 gigabytes and
- 2t for 2 terabytes etc. Best effort for each directory, with faults reported if <span class="codefrag">N</span> is
- neither zero nor a positive integer, the directory does not exist or it is a file, or the directory would immediately exceed
- the new quota. </li>
-
- <li>
- <span class="codefrag">dfsadmin -clrSpaceQuota <directory>...<director></span>
- <br> Remove any space quota for each directory. Best
- effort for each directory, with faults reported if the directory does not exist or it is a file. It is not a fault if the
- directory has no quota. </li>
-
- </ul>
- </div>
- <a name="N10076"></a><a name="Reporting+Command"></a>
- <h2 class="h3">Reporting Command</h2>
- <div class="section">
- <p> An an extension to the <span class="codefrag">count</span> command of the HDFS shell reports quota values and the current count of names and bytes in use. </p>
- <ul>
-
-
- <li>
-
- <span class="codefrag">fs -count -q <directory>...<directory></span>
- <br> With the <span class="codefrag">-q</span> option, also report the name quota
- value set for each directory, the available name quota remaining, the space quota value set, and the available space quota
- remaining. If the directory does not have a quota set, the reported values are <span class="codefrag">none</span> and <span class="codefrag">inf</span>.
