Hi, I'm experimenting with running hbase using the hadoop-ceph java filesystem implementation, and I'm having an issue with space usage. With the hbase daemons running, The amount of data in the 'data' pool grows continuously, at a much higher rate than expected. Doing a du, or ls -lh on a mounted copy shows a usage of ~16GB. But the data pool has grown to consume ~160GB at times. When I restart the daemons, shortly thereafter the data pool shrinks rapidly. If I restart all of them it comes down to match the actual space usage. My current hypothesis is that the MDS isn't deleting the objects for some reason, possibly because there's still an open filehandle? My question is, how can I get a report from the MDS on which objects aren't visible from the filesystem / why it's not deleted them yet / what open filehandles there are etc. Cheers Mike -- Mike Bryant | Systems Administrator | Ocado Technology mike.bryant@xxxxxxxxx | 01707 382148 | www.ocado.com -- Notice: This email is confidential and may contain copyright material of Ocado Limited (the "Company").
