Admin Command Line Interface

Slack Docker Pulls GitHub edit source

Alluxio’s admin command line interface provides admins with operations to manage the Alluxio filesystem. You can invoke the following command line utility to get all the subcommands:

  1. $ ./bin/alluxio fsadmin
  2. Usage: alluxio fsadmin [generic options]
  3.        [backup]
  4.        [checkpoint]
  5.        [doctor [category]]
  6.        [report]
  7.        [ufs --mode <noAccess/readOnly/readWrite> <ufsPath>]
  8.        ...

Operations

backup

The backup command creates a backup of Alluxio metadata. By default, this is the ‘$ALLUXIO_HOME/alluxio_backups’ on the primary Alluxio Master.

Back up to the default backup folder (this default can be configured by setting alluxio.master.backup.directory)

  1. ./bin/alluxio fsadmin backup
  2. Successfully backed up journal to /opt/alluxio/alluxio_backups/alluxio-backup-2019-06-13-1560446387260.gz

Back up to a specific directory in the under storage.

  1. ./bin/alluxio fsadmin backup /alluxio/special_backups
  2. Successfully backed up journal to hdfs://mycluster/alluxio/special_backups/alluxio-backup-2018-5-29-1527644810.gz

Back up to a specific directory on the leading master’s local filesystem.

  1. ./bin/alluxio fsadmin backup /opt/alluxio/backups/ --local
  2. Successfully backed up journal to /opt/alluxio/backups/alluxio-backup-2018-5-29-1527644810.gz on master Master2

checkpoint

The checkpoint command creates a checkpoint in the primary master journal system.

This command is mainly used for debugging and to avoid master journal logs from growing unbounded. Checkpointing requires a pause in master metadata changes, so use this command sparingly to avoid interfering with other users of the system.

  1. ./bin/alluxio fsadmin checkpoint

doctor

The doctor command gives recommendations and warnings. It can diagnose inconsistent configurations across different Alluxio nodes as well as alert the operator when worker storage volumes are missing.

  1. # shows server-side configuration errors and warnings
  2. $ ./bin/alluxio fsadmin doctor configuration
  3. # shows worker storage health errors and warnings
  4. $ ./bin/alluixo fsadmin doctor storage

getBlockInfo

The getBlockInfo command provides the block information and file path of a block id. It is primarily intended to assist power users in debugging their system.

  1. $ ./bin/alluxio fsadmin getBlockInfo <block_id>
  2. BlockInfo{id=16793993216, length=6, locations=[BlockLocation{workerId=8265394007253444396, address=WorkerNetAddress{host=local-mbp, rpcPort=29999, dataPort=29999, webPort=30000, domainSocketPath=, tieredIdentity=TieredIdentity(node=local-mbp, rack=null)}, tierAlias=MEM, mediumType=MEM}]}
  3. This block belongs to file {id=16810770431, path=/test2}

report

The report command provides Alluxio running cluster information.

If no argument is passed in, report will report the leading master, worker number, and capacity information.

  1. $ ./bin/alluxio fsadmin report
  2. Alluxio cluster summary:
  3.     Master Address: localhost:19998
  4.     Zookeeper Enabled: false
  5.     Live Workers: 1
  6.     Lost Workers: 0
  7.     Total Capacity: 10.45GB
  8.     Used Capacity: 0B
  9.     (only a subset of the results is shown)

report capacity will report Alluxio cluster capacity information for different subsets of workers:

  • -live Live workers
  • -lost Lost workers
  • -workers <worker_names> Specified workers, host names or ip addresses separated by ,.
  1. # Capacity information of all workers
  2. $ ./bin/alluxio fsadmin report capacity
  3. # Capacity information of live workers
  4. $ ./bin/alluxio fsadmin report capacity -live
  5. # Capacity information of specified workers
  6. $ ./bin/alluxio fsadmin report capacity -workers AlluxioWorker1,127.0.0.1

report metrics will report the metrics information of Alluxio cluster.

  1. $ ./bin/alluxio fsadmin report metrics

report ufs will report all the mounted under storage system information of Alluxio cluster.

  1. $ ./bin/alluxio fsadmin report ufs
  2. Alluxio under storage system information:
  3. hdfs://localhost:9000/ on / (hdfs, capacity=-1B, used=-1B, not read-only, not shared, properties={})

ufs

The ufs command provides options to update attributes of a mounted under storage. The option mode can be used to put an under storage in maintenance mode. Certain operations can be restricted at this moment.

For example, an under storage can enter readOnly mode to disallow write operations. Alluxio will not attempt any write operations on the under storage.

  1. $ ./bin/alluxio fsadmin ufs --mode readOnly hdfs://ns

The fsadmin ufs subcommand takes a UFS URI as an argument. The argument should be a root UFS URI like hdfs://<name-service>/, and not hdfs://<name-service>/<folder>.

pathConf

The pathConf command manages path defaults.

list

pathConf list lists paths configured with path defaults.

  1. $ ./bin/alluxio fsadmin pathConf list
  3. /a
  4. /b

The above command shows that there are path defaults set for paths with prefix /a and /b.

show

pathConf show shows path defaults for a specific path.

It has two modes:

  1. without option --all, only show path defaults set for the specific path;
  2. with option --all, show path defaults set for all paths that are prefixes of the specified path.

For example, suppose path defaults property1=value1 is set for /a, and property2=value2 is set for /a/b.

Then without --all, only properties for /a/b are shown:

  1. $ ./bin/alluxio fsadmin pathConf show /a/b
  3. property2=value2

With --all, since /a is a prefix of /a/b, properties for both /a and /a/b are shown:

  1. $ ./bin/alluxio fsadmin pathConf show --all /a/b
  3. property1=value1
  4. property2=value2

add

pathConf add adds or updates path defaults, only properties with scope equal to or broader than the client scope can be set as path defaults.

  1. $ ./bin/alluxio fsadmin pathConf add --property property1=value1 --property property2=value2 /tmp

The above command adds two properties as path defaults for paths with prefix /tmp.

  1. $ ./bin/alluxio fsadmin pathConf add --property property1=value2 /tmp

The above command updates the value of property1 from value1 to value2 for path defaults of /tmp.

remove

pathConf remove removes properties from path defaults for a path.

  1. $ ./bin/alluxio fsadmin pathConf remove --keys property1,property2 /tmp

The above command removes properties with key property1 and property2 from path defaults for paths with prefix /tmp.
