Greg Wilkins commented on HADOOP-4744: -------------------------------------- Just to clarify the dfference between getPort() and getLocalPort(). getPort() returns the configured port, which may be 0 if there is no proference. getLocalPort get's the actual bound port, which may be randomly allocated. connector.open() should do the binding and allocate the port, which getLocalPort() can return. The socket is not put into async mode until after the bind, so there should be no race. > Wrong resolution of hostname and port > -------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-4744 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4744 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mapred > Affects Versions: 0.20.0 > Reporter: Amareshwari Sriramadasu > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.20.0 > > > I noticed the following for one of the hosts in a cluster: > 1. machines.jsp page resolves the http address as just "http://hostname" > (which doesn't work). It doesnt put the port number for the host. Even if I > add the port number manually in the URI, the task tracker page does not come > up. > 2. All the tasks(both maps and reduces) which ran on the machine ran > successfully. But tasklogs cannot be viewed, because port-number is not > resolved. ( same problem as in (1)). > 3. The reducers waiting for maps ran on that machine fail with connection > failed errors saying the hostname is 'null'. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
