Hi Subir, For me it was a ssh configuration issue. Steps taken
1. Executed the "start-mapred.sh" 2. Got the "ssh_exchange_identification closed by remote host" 3. Tried connecting to the same machine using ssh (ssh localhost). Secondary node was not able to do a "ssh localhost". 4. Configured this and finally got it working Hope this saves someone's time !!
