Greetings;
I followed the excellent tutorials on the wiki, everything worked fine for
the single node version,
but for the multi-node setup (four nodes, including master), I had to use ip
addresses instead of fully qualified domain names in the
hadoop-site.xml(see appendix)
otherwise I get the error "Retrying connect to server" from both datanode
and task tracker's ipc.Client.
You didn't attach the config that does not work. Check the NameNode log.
Most likely reason is that resolving the hostname you configured would
have resulted in unexpected IP on the Namenode.
