dfs.datanode.dns.interface | default | The name of the Network Interface from which a data node should report its IP address.
dfs.datanode.dns.nameserver | default | The host name or IP address of the name server (DNS) which a DataNode should use to determine the host name used by the NameNode for communication and display purposes.
dfs.replication.considerLoad | true | Decide if chooseTarget considers the target's load or not
dfs.default.chunk.view.size | 32768 | The number of bytes to view for a file on the browser.
dfs.datanode.du.reserved | 0 | Reserved space in bytes per volume. Always leave this much space free for non dfs use.
dfs.name.dir | ${hadoop.tmp.dir}/dfs/name | Determines where on the local filesystem the DFS name node should store the name table(fsimage). If this is a comma-delimited list of directories then the name table is replicated in all of the directories, for redundancy.
dfs.name.edits.dir | ${dfs.name.dir} | Determines where on the local filesystem the DFS name node should store the transaction (edits) file. If this is a comma-delimited list of directories then the transaction file is replicated in all of the directories, for redundancy. Default value is same as dfs.name.dir
dfs.web.ugi | webuser,webgroup | The user account used by the web interface. Syntax: USERNAME,GROUP1,GROUP2, ...
dfs.permissions | true | If "true", enable permission checking in HDFS. If "false", permission checking is turned off, but all other behavior is unchanged. Switching from one parameter value to the other does not change the mode, owner or group of files or directories.
dfs.permissions.supergroup | supergroup | The name of the group of super-users.
dfs.block.access.token.enable | false | If "true", access tokens are used as capabilities for accessing datanodes. If "false", no access tokens are checked on accessing datanodes.
dfs.block.access.key.update.interval | 600 | Interval in minutes at which namenode updates its access keys.
dfs.block.access.token.lifetime | 600 | The lifetime of access tokens in minutes.
dfs.data.dir | ${hadoop.tmp.dir}/dfs/data | Determines where on the local filesystem an DFS data node should store its blocks. If this is a comma-delimited list of directories, then data will be stored in all named directories, typically on different devices. Directories that do not exist are ignored.
dfs.datanode.data.dir.perm | 755 | Permissions for the directories on on the local filesystem where the DFS data node store its blocks. The permissions can either be octal or symbolic.
dfs.replication | 3 | Default block replication. The actual number of replications can be specified when the file is created. The default is used if replication is not specified in create time.
dfs.replication.max | 512 | Maximal block replication.
dfs.replication.min | 1 | Minimal block replication.
dfs.block.size | 67108864 | The default block size for new files.
dfs.df.interval | 60000 | Disk usage statistics refresh interval in msec.
dfs.client.block.write.retries | 3 | The number of retries for writing blocks to the data nodes, before we signal failure to the application.
dfs.blockreport.intervalMsec | 3600000 | Determines block reporting interval in milliseconds.
dfs.blockreport.initialDelay | 0 | Delay for first block report in seconds.
dfs.heartbeat.interval | 3 | Determines datanode heartbeat interval in seconds.
dfs.namenode.handler.count | 10 | The number of server threads for the namenode.
dfs.safemode.threshold.pct | 0.999f | Specifies the percentage of blocks that should satisfy the minimal replication requirement defined by dfs.replication.min. Values less than or equal to 0 mean not to start in safe mode. Values greater than 1 will make safe mode permanent.
dfs.safemode.extension | 30000 | Determines extension of safe mode in milliseconds after the threshold level is reached.
dfs.balance.bandwidthPerSec | 1048576 | Specifies the maximum amount of bandwidth that each datanode can utilize for the balancing purpose in term of the number of bytes per second.
dfs.hosts |  | Names a file that contains a list of hosts that are permitted to connect to the namenode. The full pathname of the file must be specified. If the value is empty, all hosts are permitted.
dfs.hosts.exclude |  | Names a file that contains a list of hosts that are not permitted to connect to the namenode. The full pathname of the file must be specified. If the value is empty, no hosts are excluded.
dfs.max.objects | 0 | The maximum number of files, directories and blocks dfs supports. A value of zero indicates no limit to the number of objects that dfs supports.
dfs.namenode.decommission.interval | 30 | Namenode periodicity in seconds to check if decommission is complete.
dfs.namenode.decommission.nodes.per.interval | 5 | The number of nodes namenode checks if decommission is complete in each dfs.namenode.decommission.interval.
dfs.replication.interval | 3 | The periodicity in seconds with which the namenode computes repliaction work for datanodes.
dfs.access.time.precision | 3600000 | The access time for HDFS file is precise upto this value. The default value is 1 hour. Setting a value of 0 disables access times for HDFS.
dfs.support.append | false | Does HDFS allow appends to files? This is currently set to false because there are bugs in the "append code" and is not supported in any prodction cluster.
dfs.namenode.delegation.key.update-interval | 86400000 | The update interval for master key for delegation tokens in the namenode in milliseconds.
dfs.namenode.delegation.token.max-lifetime | 604800000 | The maximum lifetime in milliseconds for which a delegation token is valid.
dfs.namenode.delegation.token.renew-interval | 86400000 | The renewal interval for delegation token in milliseconds.
dfs.datanode.failed.volumes.tolerated | 0 | The number of volumes that are allowed to fail before a datanode stops offering service. By default any volume failure will cause a datanode to shutdown.
