Hi guys : Well, I finally got my hadoop working just fine by using a different VM.
This is a little crazy but .... I decided to make it easier to see my scenario so I put a little 4min video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxoLgDmXeb4 The resolution is bad, but you can see that 1) (at the end) a map reduce job runs fine on the node itself using examples-jar and that 2) (beggining) ports, such as 50070 are generally open --- but my java code (running on host machine in eclipse), fails to connect over the vm. Any thoughts ? ** Note : The hadoop versions may not match up exactly --- would that result in a connection error ? I assume not, since the hdfs:// protocol is not anything new. I assume that the hdfs protocol shouldnt need any additional security.
