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
