To add a new DataNode to the Hadoop cluster, you can follow these steps:

  1. Install the Hadoop software package on the new DataNode server and ensure it is the same version as the other nodes in the Hadoop cluster.
  2. Set up Hadoop environment variables on the new DataNode server, including configuring variables such as JAVA_HOME and HADOOP_HOME.
  3. Update the Hadoop configuration files (hdfs-site.xml and core-site.xml) on the new DataNode server to match the other nodes in the Hadoop cluster.
  4. Create a Hadoop data directory on the new DataNode server (e.g., the directory configured in dfs.datanode.data.dir) and ensure it has the proper permissions.
  5. Start the Hadoop service on the new DataNode server. Use the following command to start the DataNode:
  6. Initiate the datanode daemon using hadoop-daemon.sh script located in the HADOOP_HOME/sbin directory.
  7. Make sure the new DataNode server can connect to the NameNode in the Hadoop cluster without any network or firewall configurations blocking its connection.
  8. Run the following command on the NameNode of the Hadoop cluster to ensure that the new DataNode has successfully registered with the cluster.
  9. Generate a report using the dfsadmin command in the Hadoop home directory.
  10. This will display a report of the Hadoop cluster, containing information about each DataNode.

If no errors or warnings appear, it means that the new DataNode has been successfully added to the Hadoop cluster.
