1.2.8. Recreate the secondary NameNode
You may need to recreate your secondary NameNode.
To check to see if you need to recreate the secondary NameNode, on the Ambari Server host:
curl -u <AMBARI_USER>:<AMBARI_PW> -H "X-Requested-By: ambari" -i -X GET <AMBARI_PROTO>://localhost:<AMBARI_PORT>/api/v1/clusters/<CLUSTER_NAME>/host_components?HostRoles/component_name=SECONDARY_NAMENODE
If this returns an empty
items
array, you must recreate your secondary NameNode. Otherwise you can go on to Re-enable secondary NameNode.Recreate your secondary NameNode. On the Ambari Server host:
curl -u <AMBARI_USER>:<AMBARI_PW> -H "X-Requested-By: ambari" -i -X POST -d '{"host_components" : [{"HostRoles":{"component_name":"SECONDARY_NAMENODE"}}] }' <AMBARI_PROTO>://localhost:<AMBARI_PORT>/api/v1/clusters/<CLUSTER_NAME>/hosts?Hosts/host_name=<SECONDARY_NAMENODE_HOSTNAME>
Verify that the secondary NameNode now exists. On the Ambari Server host:
curl -u <AMBARI_USER>:<AMBARI_PW> -H "X-Requested-By: ambari" -i -X GET <AMBARI_PROTO>://localhost:<AMBARI_PORT>/api/v1/clusters/<CLUSTER_NAME>/host_components?HostRoles/component_name=SECONDARY_NAMENODE
This should return a non-empty
items
array containing the secondary NameNode.
