有时候hadoop老是抽风，启动服务后用jps查看总是无法显示相应的进程，现在我们就在原来的基础上进行重新格式化（已亲测可以实现）：
重新格式化hdfs系统的方法：
（1）查看hdfs-site.xml：
<property>
<name>dfs.namenode.name.dir</name>
<value>/usr/local/hadoop/hadoop-2.4.0/hdfs/name</value>
<description>namenode上存储hdfs名字空间元数据</description>
</property>
<property>
<name>dfs.datanode.data.dir</name>
<value>/usr/local/hadoop/hadoop-2.4.0/hdfs/data</value>
<description>datanode上数据块的物理存储位置</description>
</property>将dfs.namenode.name.dir和dfs.datanode.data.dir目录下的内容全部删除
（2）查看core-site.xml：
<property>
<name>hadoop.tmp.dir</name>
<value>/usr/local/hadoop/hadoop-2.4.0/hadoop_tmp</value>
<description>namenode上本地的hadoop临时文件夹</description>
</property>将hadoop.tmp.dir目录下的内容全部删除
（3）在hadoop启动的情况下：
重新执行命令：hadoop namenode -format
最后出现如下提示表面格式化完毕且格式化成功：
Re-format filesystem in QJM to [192.168.2.113:8485, 192.168.2.114:8485, 192.168.2.115:8485] ? (Y or N) Y

1.原来的数据全部被清空了。产生了一个新的hdfs。
2.确认格式化前已经删除对应目录下的内容，且启动了hdfs。
3.如果在hadoop没有启动的情况下就执行hadoop namenode -format会出现错误：
