Hadoop offers the decommission feature to retire a set of existing data-nodes. The nodes to be retired should be included into the exclude file, and the exclude file name should be specified as a configuration parameter dfs.hosts.exclude.

The decommission process can be terminated at any time by editing the configuration or the exclude files and repeating the -refreshNodes command
