I’m currently learning hadoop and I’m trying to setup a single node test as defined in http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/single_node_setup.html
I’ve configured ssh (I can log without a password).
My server is on our intranet, behind a proxy.
When I’m trying to run
bin/hadoop namenode -format
I get the following java.net.UnknownHostException exception:
$ bin/hadoop namenode -format

After that, hadoop was started
./bin/start-all.sh
but there was another new exception when I tried to copy a local file:
bin/hadoop fs -copyFromLocal ~/file.txt file.txt
DataStreamer Exception: org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RemoteException: java.io.IOException: File /user/lindenb/file.txt could only be replicated to 0 nodes, instead of 1
at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.FSNamesystem.getAdditionalBlock(FSNamesystem.java:1417)
how can I fix this problem please ?
Thanks
UnknownHostException is thrown when hadoop tries to resolve the DNS name (srv-clc-04.univ-nantes.prive3) to an ip address. This fails.
Look for the domain name in the configuration files and replace it by “localhost”. (Or update the DNS up resolve the name to an ip address)
