HDFS - NFS gateway configuration - getting exception for NFS3 -

i trying configure nfs gateway access hdfs data, , followed http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.4.0/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/hdfsnfsgateway.html ..

in brief, above link, have followed below steps:

sudo service rpcbind start // start portmapper , nfs daemons.

sudo netstat -taupen | grep 111 // confirm propgram listenining port 111

rpcinfo -p ubuntu // tells programs listening rpc clients.

sudo service nfs-kernel-server start // start mountd

rpcinfo -p ubuntu // should show mountd

sudo service rpcbind stop // start system’s portmapper

sudo netstat -taupen | grep 111 // make sure no other program running port 111. if yes, use “kill -9 portnum”

sudo ./hadoop-daemon.sh start portmap // start portmap using hadoop program

sudo ./hadoop-daemon.sh start nfs3

sudo mount -t nfs -o vers=3,proto=tcp,nolock 192.168.125.156:/ /var/hdnfs

mount.nfs: requested nfs version or transport protocol not supported

above error gone (make sure stop system nfs calling service nfs-kernel-server stop) , getting below exception nsf3:

i think result of fix added in response https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/hdfs-5804

specifically, notice daryn sharp's comment on 14/jan/27 wanting away having different code paths based on issecurityenabled(). take mean old default behavior removed , new behavior requires amount of configuration. code fixed support security , configuration/documentation required old default unsecure behavior never updated reflect changes. open source, closed doc.

i think there 2 new additional pieces of information necessary working -- notice in documentation followed first step add "nfsserver proxyuser" details core-site.xml (note, think needed on hadoop server side -- particularly name node -- not on client side you're running nfsserver, although time got working, had set everywhere). followed step, changed values of both settings * (star) "nfsserver" impersonate when trying connect anywhere. specically, nfsserver needs able impersonate root past issue both encountering.

<property>   <name>hadoop.proxyuser.nfsserver.groups</name>   <value>*</value>   <description>          'nfsserver' user allowed proxy members of 'nfs-users1' ,           'nfs-users2' groups. set '*' allow nfsserver user proxy group.   </description> </property>  <property>   <name>hadoop.proxyuser.nfsserver.hosts</name>   <value>*</value>   <description>          host nfs gateway running. set '*' allow          requests hosts proxied.   </description> </property> 

that leads me second key piece of information necessary fix -- must run nfs3 server userid "nfsserver" -- not hdfs documentation more interpreted:

1. start mountd , nfsd.

no root privileges required command. however, ensure user starting hadoop cluster , user starting nfs gateway same.

 hadoop nfs3   or   hadoop-daemon.sh start nfs3 

note, if hadoop-daemon.sh script starts nfs gateway, log can found in hadoop log folder.

i believe second change introduced part of jira 5804. likely, in past supposed run nfs3 hdfs , in event of unsecure cluster, there no impersonation going on. impersonation appears default, , user appears can configure impersonation literally "nfsserver" -- means need provision user "nfsserver".

so finally, after adding configuration mentioned above, need provision nfsserver user:

#create system user named nfsserver hadoop default group sudo useradd -r -g hadoop nfsserver 

and start nfs3 service user (in addition having started portmap)

sudo -u nfsserver hadoop-daemon.sh start nfs3
