I'm not sure you have to disable it as long as all java processes get started with "-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true" as a JVM arg If you don't say that then the JVM keeps trying to create sockets at the IPv6 level and then fallback to IPv4 if it can't connect, which adds overhead to all connections. -steve > > On Fri, Aug 16, 2013 at 12:44 PM, Eli Collins <e...@cloudera.com> wrote: > > > Hey Andrew, > > > > I'm not aware of anyone working on IPv6 support. > > > > The following looks up to date and may be helpful: > > http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HadoopIPv6 > > > > Thanks, > > Eli > > > > On Fri, Aug 16, 2013 at 8:27 AM, Andrew Pennebaker > > <apenneba...@42six.com> wrote: > > > When will Hadoop get better IPv6 support?
