There are several methods for removing nodes in Hadoop.

  1. Manually stop the node services: First, stop the Hadoop services on the node, including DataNode and TaskTracker. You can use the stop-dfs.sh and stop-mapred.sh scripts to stop the services.
  2. Modify the Hadoop configuration file by removing the hostname or IP address of the node to be deleted from the Hadoop configuration file. The Hadoop configuration files are located in the $HADOOP_HOME/etc/hadoop directory, including hdfs-site.xml and mapred-site.xml.
  3. Update the Hadoop cluster: run the command hadoop namenode -refreshNodes to update the node information of the Hadoop cluster. This will reload the node list automatically identify and remove deleted nodes.
  4. Restart the Hadoop cluster: Finally, restart the Hadoop cluster to apply the changes. You can use the start-dfs.sh and start-mapred.sh scripts to start the Hadoop services.

Please be aware that deleting nodes may impact the performance and availability of the Hadoop cluster, so please make sure you understand its potential consequences before proceeding and operate with caution in a production environment.
