1. You can check the status of HDFS by running this command: kubectl exec -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} -it {{ template "hbase.name" . }}-hdfs-nn-0 -- /usr/local/hadoop/bin/hdfs dfsadmin -report 2. You can list the yarn nodes by running this command: kubectl exec -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} -it {{ template "hbase.name" . }}-yarn-rm-0 -- /usr/local/hadoop/bin/yarn node -list 3. Create a port-forward to the yarn resource manager UI: kubectl port-forward -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} {{ template "hbase.name" . }}-yarn-rm-0 8088:8088 Then open the ui in your browser: open http://localhost:8088 4. You can run included hadoop tests like this: kubectl exec -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} -it {{ template "hbase.name" . }}-yarn-nm-0 -- /usr/local/hadoop/bin/hadoop jar /usr/local/hadoop/share/hadoop/mapreduce/hadoop-mapreduce-client-jobclient-{{ .Values.hadoopVersion }}-tests.jar TestDFSIO -write -nrFiles 5 -fileSize 128MB -resFile /tmp/TestDFSIOwrite.txt 5. You can list the mapreduce jobs like this: kubectl exec -n {{ .Release.Namespace }} -it {{ template "hbase.name" . }}-yarn-rm-0 -- /usr/local/hadoop/bin/mapred job -list 6. This chart can also be used with the zeppelin chart helm install --namespace {{ .Release.Namespace }} --set hadoop.useConfigMap=true,hadoop.configMapName={{ template "hbase.name" . }} stable/zeppelin 7. You can scale the number of yarn nodes like this: helm upgrade {{ .Release.Name }} --set yarn.nodeManager.replicas=4 stable/hadoop Make sure to update the values.yaml if you want to make this permanent.
