Well he didn't say he wanted to decommission the node, just stop it 
independently of the name node. ;-)

If you want to decommission a datanode,

James,

Remove the node without stopping what?

If you mean you want to remove the data node without stopping the master, you 
have a couple of ways...

First, if you're running Cloudera's CDH3b3 release you have /etc/init.d scripts 
where you can issue a stop command.
(Stopping the datanode and the task tracker job.)

Or you could use a kill -9 , or a killall -9 java to stop the processes.

After 10 minutes the name node sees the data node as non-responsive and marks 
it as down.
If you want to remove the data node permanently, there are other steps....

Hi,

Can anyone please answer the question. How to remove the datanodes
dynamically from the masternode without stopping it?
