I used this command to leave the safe mode

hdfs dfsadmin -safemode leave

But even then, when I use this command to delete files

hdfs dfs -rm -r /user/amandeep/share/

It shows the following error

15/06/18 23:35:05 INFO fs.TrashPolicyDefault: Namenode trash configuration: Deletion interval = 0 minutes, Emptier interval = 0 minutes.
rm: Cannot delete /user/amandeep/share/lib/lib_20150615024237. Name node is in safe mode.

Are you using HA HDFS? If so, the active namenode could still be in safemode. Are you able to do other tasks? Put files, cp files, etc ? – brandon.bell Jun 18 '15 at 18:37
I am not able to do other tasks too .. – Amandeep Gupta Jun 18 '15 at 19:48
If you tail the Namenode's logs, is there a reason it is not exiting safemode? – brandon.bell Jun 18 '15 at 20:02
i think it says it has no memory and some blocks are corrupt .. – Amandeep Gupta Jun 18 '15 at 22:17
