Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-3437: ---------------------------------------- 1. JobTracker should clearly recognise that the {{mapred.job.tracker}} ref is local, and refuse to play, with a more useful message. 2. Erik, I think your problem is separate, and perhaps should be its own bugrep. We should disable IPv6 anyway; created a bug report for that HADOOP-6056 -as Ubuntu 9.04 doesnt let you turn IPv6 off in the kernel, doing it in Java is the best way to kill it. > 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.
