8. Deleting a Host from a Cluster

Deleting a host removes the host from the cluster. Before deleting a host, you must complete the following prerequisites:

  • Stop all components running on the host.

  • Decommission any DataNodes running on the host.

  • Move from the host any master components, such as NameNode or ResourceManager, running on the host.

  • Turn Off Maintenance Mode, if necessary, for the host.

    To delete a host:

    1. In Hosts, click on a host name.

    2. On the Host-Details page, select Host Actions drop-down menu.

    3. Choose Delete.

    If you have not completed prerequisite steps, a warning message similar to the following one appears:
