Trouble mounting external disk for hadoop pod in kubernetes cluster - hadoop

Question

Background :
I have a kubernetes cluster which has a spark cluster (with driver outside the cluster) and hadoop pod. I mounted the folder path of hadoop pod to one of the external disk.
Issue :
I'm getting below exception when spark cluster tries to create a checkpointing folder in hdfs.
java.io.EOFException: End of File Exception between local host is: "jfgubq745vn2ym-tg1isslukll1u3/10.92.0.135"; destination host is: "dev-dev-hadoop":9000; : java.io.EOFException; For more details see: http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/EOFException

This works well if I do not mount a path to external disk.

Answer 1

This issue is resolved. The docker image I was using for hadoop container does not format external mounted disks on startup. I edited the dockerfile and made it to format the external mounted paths. Updated dockerfile https://github.com/Falkonry/docker-hadoop/blob/master/Dockerfile
