Erik Forsberg commented on HADOOP-3437: --------------------------------------- After some fiddling I found that the solution I proposed in the previous comment does work halfway - you can submit jobs, but the reduce processes fails to connect to hdfs to fetch files. I found a better workaround: 1) Leave the configuration as detailed at http://hadoop.apache.org/core/docs/current/quickstart.html#PseudoDistributed 2) Disable IPv6 in Java by editing conf/hadoop-env.sh, as follows: HADOOP_OPTS=-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true > mapred.job.tracker default value/docs appear out of sync with code > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-3437 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3437 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Bug > Components: conf > Affects Versions: 0.18.0 > Reporter: Steve Loughran > Priority: Minor > > This is the settings for mapred.job.tracker in SVN_HEAD.
