Hi,

I have an issue where my client's code (which links to libhdfs.a) is throwing out the following errors :

ipc.Clnt Retrying connect to server name-node-A/98.137.17.156:4600 Already tried 0 time

The node in question is is the name node.

What I want to understand is :

1. I suspect this is coming from libhdfs.a. Is that true ?

2. What is the retry logic, at a high level, from libhdfs.a to name node? Pointers to documentation will be really appreciated.

3. How do I control the behaviour ?

4. Most probably, the retries are happenning because of an unresponsive Name Node. Are there any logs that I can look at the Name Node using which I can pin-point why is the Name Node unresponsive ?

Thanks in advance.
