org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.SafeModeException: Cannot delete /tmp/hadoop-hadoop/mapred/system. Name node is in safe mode.
The reported blocks 319128 needs additional 7183 blocks to reach the threshold 0.9990 of total blocks 326638. Safe mode will be turned off automatically.This error comes when the Namenode is safe mode. NameNode is in safemode until configured percent of blocks reported to be online by the data nodes. It can be configured by parameter dfs.namenode.safemode.threshold-pct in the hdfs-site.xml For small / development clusters, where you have very few blocks - it makes sense to make this parameter lower then its default 0.9999f value. Otherwise 1 missing block can lead to system to hang in safemode.
