Ted Yu created HBASE-10200: ------------------------------ Summary: Better error message when HttpServer fails to start due to java.net.BindException Key: HBASE-10200 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10200 Project: HBase Issue Type: Task Reporter: Ted Yu Priority: Minor
Starting HBase using Hoya, I saw the following in log: {code} 2013-12-17 21:49:06,758 INFO [master:hor12n19:42587] http.HttpServer: HttpServer.start() threw a non Bind IOException java.net.BindException: Port in use: hor12n14.gq1.ygridcore.net:12432 at org.apache.hadoop.http.HttpServer.openListener(HttpServer.java:742) at org.apache.hadoop.http.HttpServer.start(HttpServer.java:686) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.HMaster.run(HMaster.java:586) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:722) Caused by: java.net.BindException: Cannot assign requested address at sun.nio.ch.Net.bind0(Native Method) at sun.nio.ch.Net.bind(Net.java:344) at sun.nio.ch.Net.bind(Net.java:336) at sun.nio.ch.ServerSocketChannelImpl.bind(ServerSocketChannelImpl.java:199) at sun.nio.ch.ServerSocketAdaptor.bind(ServerSocketAdaptor.java:74) at org.mortbay.jetty.nio.SelectChannelConnector.open(SelectChannelConnector.java:216) at org.apache.hadoop.http.HttpServer.openListener(HttpServer.java:738) {code} This was due to hbase.master.info.bindAddress giving static address but Hoya allocates master dynamically. Better error message should be provided: when bindAddress points another host than local host, message should remind user to remove / adjust hbase.master.info.bindAddress config param from hbase-site.xml -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.4#6159)
