Todd Lipcon commented on HADOOP-5891: ------------------------------------- Steve: I agree that service location can be improved across the board. However, I don't think it's necessarily a good idea to overload the NameNode as a service name daemon. Personally, I'd prefer to use something like ZooKeeper here. Obviously there needs to be at least one host that is in a "well-known" location, which could be configured by default as a "hadoop-zk" hostname which has multiple A records pointing to all of the ZK nodes. Anyway, I agree that we should work towards the ideal goal, but I'd like to have that discussion in a new JIRA. This one is a very simple fix whereas that one could be pretty significant. > If dfs.http.address is default, SecondaryNameNode can't find NameNode > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-5891 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5891 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Bug > Components: dfs > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Assignee: Todd Lipcon > Attachments: hadoop-5891.txt > > > As detailed in this blog post: > http://www.cloudera.com/blog/2009/02/10/multi-host-secondarynamenode-configuration/ > if dfs.http.address is not configured, and the 2NN is a different machine > from the NN, the 2NN fails to connect. > In SecondaryNameNode.getInfoServer, the 2NN should notice a "0.0.0.0" > dfs.http.address and, in that case, pull the hostname out of fs.default.name. > This would fix the default configuration to work properly for most users. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
