1. Datanodes heart beating with Namenode
2. Blocks waiting to be replicated
3. Blocks currently being replicated

这个比较不错，它应该会自动取active状态的nn作为数据源来获取数据。
恢复的步骤：
hadoop-daemon.sh stop namenode
rm -fr /hdp/name/dfs/current
然后直接复制fsimage文件到current下面，启动nameode,自动关闭，原因是报namenode没有进行格式化，
因为我们直接删除了它的version文件，从nn2上把VERSION文件复制过来。
再次启动namenode,进程仍然关闭，日志中显示错误是fsimage文件没有md5文件，生成fsimage的md5校验文件
md5sum fsimage* >fsimage**.md5
然后再次启动namenode,正常启动。
因为namenode会定期地进行checkpoint生成新的fsimage文件，而且还有备用机，基本上不用这种方式进行元数据的备份了，
除非在极端情况下，我们的两台机器的存储元数据的磁盘都发生了问题，不能找回数据了，这样的备份才会有意义。
