  • Publication number: 20160266951
    Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying a faulty node in a Hadoop cluster using an interface to the Hadoop cluster are described. A method may include receiving, at an interface to a Hadoop cluster, an input requesting diagnostic information for one or more nodes in the Hadoop cluster. The input may also specify the one or more nodes in the Hadoop cluster for which diagnostic information is requested. The method may further include initiating a diagnostic analysis of the one or more nodes, and displaying, at the interface, the diagnostic information for the one or more nodes. The diagnostic information may identify a node exhibiting a fault and be displayed while the diagnostic analysis is in progress.
