If I remove the following line from /etc/hosts then the datanodes will
be able to connect:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost hadoop1

Can someone explain why this is happening? I feel like I shouldn't have
to alter my hosts file to get this up and running.


That's an ubuntu machine, isn't it?

I think someone decided patching up the local hostname to map to 127.0.0.1 was useful for laptops, but it stops your machines being visible over the network.

Edit /etc/hosts and recognise that many of the features that make ubuntu a good desktop Linux (good device support, power management, laptop-friendly etc), make it a weak server linux (unstable, too biased towards laptops on unmanaged networks)
