What is best way to start and stop hadoop ecosystem, with command line?

Question

I see there are several ways we can start hadoop ecosystem,

1. start-all.sh & stop-all.sh Which say it\'s deprecated use start-dfs.sh & st

Answer 1

From Hadoop page,

start-all.sh 

This will startup a Namenode, Datanode, Jobtracker and a Tasktracker on your machine.

start-dfs.sh

This will bring up HDFS with the Namenode running on the machine you ran the command on. On such a machine you would need start-mapred.sh to separately start the job tracker

start-all.sh/stop-all.sh has to be run on the master node

You would use start-all.sh on a single node cluster (i.e. where you would have all the services on the same node.The namenode is also the datanode and is the master node).

In multi-node setup,

You will use start-all.sh on the master node and would start what is necessary on the slaves as well.

Alternatively,

Use start-dfs.sh on the node you want the Namenode to run on. This will bring up HDFS with the Namenode running on the machine you ran the command on and Datanodes on the machines listed in the slaves file.

Use start-mapred.sh on the machine you plan to run the Jobtracker on. This will bring up the Map/Reduce cluster with Jobtracker running on the machine you ran the command on and Tasktrackers running on machines listed in the slaves file.

hadoop-daemon.sh as stated by Tariq is used on each individual node. The master node will not start the services on the slaves.In a single node setup this will act same as start-all.sh.In a multi-node setup you will have to access each node (master as well as slaves) and execute on each of them.

Have a look at this start-all.sh it call config followed by dfs and mapred

Answer 2

Starting

start-dfs.sh (starts the namenode and the datanode)
start-mapred.sh (starts the jobtracker and the tasktracker)

Stopping

stop-dfs.sh
stop-mapred.sh

Answer 3

start-all.sh & stop-all.sh : Used to start and stop hadoop daemons all at once. Issuing it on the master machine will start/stop the daemons on all the nodes of a cluster. Deprecated as you have already noticed.

start-dfs.sh, stop-dfs.sh and start-yarn.sh, stop-yarn.sh : Same as above but start/stop HDFS and YARN daemons separately on all the nodes from the master machine. It is advisable to use these commands now over start-all.sh & stop-all.sh

hadoop-daemon.sh namenode/datanode and yarn-deamon.sh resourcemanager : To start individual daemons on an individual machine manually. You need to go to a particular node and issue these commands.

Use case : Suppose you have added a new DN to your cluster and you need to start the DN daemon only on this machine,

bin/hadoop-daemon.sh start datanode

Note : You should have ssh enabled if you want to start all the daemons on all the nodes from one machine.

Hope this answers your query.
