List of Configuration Properties

Slack Docker Pulls

All Alluxio configuration settings fall into one of the six categories: Common (shared by Master and Worker), Master specific, Worker specific, User specific, Cluster specific (used for running Alluxio with cluster managers like Mesos and YARN), and Security specific (shared by Master, Worker, and User).

Common Configuration

The common configuration contains constants shared by different components.

alluxio.fuse.auth.policy.class alluxio.fuse.auth.LaunchUserGroupAuthPolicy The fuse auth policy class. Valid options include: `alluxio.fuse.auth.LaunchUserGroupAuthPolicy` using the user launching the AlluxioFuse application to do authentication, `alluxio.fuse.auth.SystemUserGroupAuthPolicy` using the end-user running the fuse command to do authentication which matches POSIX standard but sacrifices performance, `alluxio.fuse.auth.CustomAuthPolicy` using the custom user group to do authentication.
alluxio.fuse.auth.policy.custom.group The fuse group name for custom auth policy. Only valid if the alluxio.fuse.auth.policy.class is alluxio.fuse.auth.CustomAuthPolicy
alluxio.fuse.auth.policy.custom.user The fuse user name for custom auth policy. Only valid if the alluxio.fuse.auth.policy.class is alluxio.fuse.auth.CustomAuthPolicy

alluxio.fuse.mount.options direct_io The platform specific Fuse mount options to mount the given Fuse mount point. If multiple mount options are provided, separate them with comma.
alluxio.fuse.mount.point /mnt/alluxio-fuse The absolute local filesystem path that worker (if alluxio.worker.fuse.enabled is enabled)or standalone Fuse will mount Alluxio path to.
alluxio.fuse.shared.caching.reader.enabled false (Experimental) Use share grpc data reader for better performance on multi-process file reading through Alluxio JNI Fuse. Blocks data will be cached on the client side so more memory is required for the Fuse process.
alluxio.fuse.special.command.enabled false If enabled, user can issue special FUSE commands by using 'ls -l /path/to/fuse_mount/.alluxiocli.<command_name>.<subcommand_name>', For example, when the Alluxio is mounted at local path /mnt/alluxio-fuse, 'ls -l /mnt/alluxio-fuse/.alluxiocli.metadatacache.dropAll' will drop all the user metadata cache. 'ls -l /mnt/alluxio-fuse/.alluxiocli.metadatacache.size' will get the metadata cache size, the size value will be show in the output's filesize field. 'ls -l /mnt/alluxio-fuse/path/to/be/cleaned/.alluxiocli.metadatacache.drop' will drop the metadata cache of path '/mnt/alluxio-fuse/path/to/be/cleaned/'
alluxio.fuse.stat.cache.refresh.interval 5min The fuse filesystem statistics (e.g. Alluxio capacity information) will be refreshed after being cached for this time period. If the refresh time is too big, operations on the FUSE may fail because of the stale filesystem statistics. If it is too small, continuously fetching filesystem statistics create a large amount of master RPC calls and lower the overall performance of the Fuse application. A value small than or equal to zero means no statistics cache on the Fuse side.
alluxio.fuse.umount.timeout 0s The timeout to wait for all in progress file read and write to finish before unmounting the Fuse filesystem when SIGTERM signal is received. A value smaller than or equal to zero means no umount wait time.
alluxio.fuse.user.group.translation.enabled false Whether to translate Alluxio users and groups into Unix users and groups when exposing Alluxio files through the FUSE API.

alluxio.master.ufs.active.sync.thread.pool.size The number of threads used by the active sync provider process active sync events. A higher number allow the master to use more CPU to process events from an event stream in parallel. If this value is too low, Alluxio may fall behind processing events. Defaults to # of processors / 2. Max number of threads used to perform active sync
alluxio.master.ufs.block.location.cache.capacity 1000000 The capacity of the UFS block locations cache. This cache caches UFS block locations for files that are persisted but not in Alluxio space, so that listing status of these files do not need to repeatedly ask UFS for their block locations. If this is set to 0, the cache will be disabled.
alluxio.master.ufs.journal.max.catchup.time 10min The maximum time to wait for ufs journal catching up before listening to Zookeeper state change. This is added to prevent frequently leadership transition during heavy journal replay stage.
alluxio.master.ufs.path.cache.capacity 100000 The capacity of the UFS sync path cache. This cache is used to approximate the `ONCE` metadata load behavior (see `alluxio.user.file.metadata.load.type`). Larger caches will consume more memory, but will better approximate the `ONCE` behavior.
alluxio.master.ufs.path.cache.threads 64 The maximum size of the thread pool for asynchronously processing paths for the UFS path cache. Greater number of threads will decrease the amount of staleness in the async cache, but may impact performance. If this is set to 0, the cache will be disabled, and `alluxio.user.file.metadata.load.type=ONCE` will behave like `ALWAYS`.
alluxio.master.unsafe.direct.persist.object.enabled true When set to false, writing files using ASYNC_THROUGH or persist CLI with object stores as the UFS will first create temporary objects suffixed by ".alluxio.TIMESTAMP.tmp" in the object store before committed to the final UFS path. When set to true, files will be put to the destination path directly in the object store without staging with a temp suffix. Enabling this optimization by directly persisting files can significantly improve the efficiency writing to object store by making less data copy as rename in object store can be slow, but leaving a short vulnerability window for undefined behavior if a file is written using ASYNC_THROUGH but renamed or removed before the async persist operation completes, while this same file path was reused for other new files in Alluxio.

alluxio.master.worker.info.cache.refresh.time 10sec The worker information list will be refreshed after being cached for this time period. If the refresh time is too big, operations on the job servers or clients may fail because of the stale worker info. If it is too small, continuously updating worker information may case lock contention in the block master
alluxio.master.worker.register.lease.count 25 The number of workers that can register at the same time. Others will wait and retry until they are granted a RegisterLease. If you observe pressure on the master when many workers start up and register, tune down this parameter.
alluxio.master.worker.register.lease.enabled true Whether workers request for leases before they register. The RegisterLease is used by the master to control the concurrency of workers that are actively registering.
alluxio.master.worker.register.lease.respect.jvm.space true Whether the master checks the availability on the JVM before granting a lease to a worker. If the master determines the JVM does not have enough space to accept a new worker, the RegisterLease will not be granted.
alluxio.master.worker.register.lease.ttl 1min The TTL for a RegisterLease granted to the worker. Leases that exceed the TTL will be recycled and granted to other workers.
alluxio.master.worker.register.stream.response.timeout 10min When the worker registers the master with streaming, the worker will be sending messages to the master during the streaming.During an active stream if the master have not heard from the worker for more than this timeout, the worker will be considered hanging and the stream will be closed.

alluxio.user.file.create.ttl.action DELETE When file's ttl is expired, the action performs on it. Options: DELETE (default) or FREE
alluxio.user.file.delete.unchecked false Whether to check if the UFS contents are in sync with Alluxio before attempting to delete persisted directories recursively.
alluxio.user.file.include.operation.id true Whether to send a unique operation id with designated filesystem operations.
alluxio.user.file.master.client.pool.gc.interval 120sec The interval at which file system master client GC checks occur.

alluxio.user.file.metadata.load.type ONCE The behavior of loading metadata from UFS. When information about a path is requested and the path does not exist in Alluxio, metadata can be loaded from the UFS. Valid options are `ALWAYS`, `NEVER`, and `ONCE`. `ALWAYS` will always access UFS to see if the path exists in the UFS. `NEVER` will never consult the UFS. `ONCE` will access the UFS the "first" time (according to a cache), but not after that. This parameter is ignored if a metadata sync is performed, via the parameter "alluxio.user.file.metadata.sync.interval"
alluxio.user.file.metadata.sync.interval -1 The interval for syncing UFS metadata before invoking an operation on a path. -1 means no sync will occur. 0 means Alluxio will always sync the metadata of the path before an operation. If you specify a time interval, Alluxio will (best effort) not re-sync a path within that time interval. Syncing the metadata for a path must interact with the UFS, so it is an expensive operation. If a sync is performed for an operation, the configuration of "alluxio.user.file.metadata.load.type" will be ignored.

alluxio.user.file.persistence.initial.wait.time 0 Time to wait before starting the persistence job. When the value is set to -1, the file will be persisted by rename operation or persist CLI but will not be automatically persisted in other cases. This is to avoid the heavy object copy in rename operation when alluxio.user.file.writetype.default is set to ASYNC_THROUGH. This value should be smaller than the value of alluxio.master.persistence.max.total.wait.time
alluxio.user.file.readtype.default CACHE Default read type when creating Alluxio files. Valid options are `CACHE_PROMOTE` (move data to highest tier if already in Alluxio storage, write data into highest tier of local Alluxio if data needs to be read from under storage), `CACHE` (write data into highest tier of local Alluxio if data needs to be read from under storage), `NO_CACHE` (no data interaction with Alluxio, if the read is from Alluxio data migration or eviction will not occur).
alluxio.user.file.replication.durable 1 The target replication level of a file created by ASYNC_THROUGH writesbefore this file is persisted.
alluxio.user.file.replication.max -1 The target max replication level of a file in Alluxio space. Setting this property to a negative value means no upper limit.

alluxio.user.file.sequential.pread.threshold 2MB An upper bound on the client buffer size for positioned read to hint at the sequential nature of reads. For reads with a buffer size greater than this threshold, the read op is treated to be sequential and the worker may handle the read differently. For instance, cold reads from the HDFS ufs may use a different HDFS client API.
alluxio.user.file.target.media Preferred media type while storing file's blocks.
alluxio.user.file.ufs.tier.enabled false When workers run out of available memory, whether the client can skip writing data to Alluxio but fallback to write to UFS without stopping the application. This property only works when the write type is ASYNC_THROUGH.

alluxio.user.file.write.init.sleep.min 1sec N/A
alluxio.user.file.write.tier.default 0 The default tier for choosing a where to write a block. Valid option is any integer. Non-negative values identify tiers starting from top going down (0 identifies the first tier, 1 identifies the second tier, and so on). If the provided value is greater than the number of tiers, it identifies the last tier. Negative values identify tiers starting from the bottom going up (-1 identifies the last tier, -2 identifies the second to last tier, and so on). If the absolute value of the provided value is greater than the number of tiers, it identifies the first tier.
alluxio.user.file.writetype.default MUST_CACHE Default write type when creating Alluxio files. Valid options are `MUST_CACHE` (write will only go to Alluxio and must be stored in Alluxio), `CACHE_THROUGH` (try to cache, write to UnderFS synchronously), `THROUGH` (no cache, write to UnderFS synchronously), `ASYNC_THROUGH` (write to cache, write to UnderFS asynchronously, replicated alluxio.user.file.replication.durable times in Alluxio before data is persisted.
