Tianyin Xu created HDFS-7684: -------------------------------- Summary: The Host:Port Settings of dfs.namenode.secondary.http-address should be trimmed before use Key: HDFS-7684 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-7684 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Components: namenode Affects Versions: 2.5.1, 2.4.1 Reporter: Tianyin Xu
With the following setting, <property> <name>dfs.namenode.secondary.http-address</name> <value>myhostname:50090 </value> </property> The secondary NameNode could not be started $ hadoop-daemon.sh start secondarynamenode starting secondarynamenode, logging to /home/hadoop/hadoop-2.4.1/logs/hadoop-hadoop-secondarynamenode-xxx.out /home/hadoop/hadoop-2.4.1/bin/hdfs Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Does not contain a valid host:port authority: myhostname:50090 at org.apache.hadoop.net.NetUtils.createSocketAddr(NetUtils.java:196) at org.apache.hadoop.net.NetUtils.createSocketAddr(NetUtils.java:163) at org.apache.hadoop.net.NetUtils.createSocketAddr(NetUtils.java:152) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.SecondaryNameNode.getHttpAddress(SecondaryNameNode.java:203) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.SecondaryNameNode.initialize(SecondaryNameNode.java:214) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.SecondaryNameNode.<init>(SecondaryNameNode.java:192) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.SecondaryNameNode.main(SecondaryNameNode.java:651) We were really confused and misled by the log message: we thought about the DNS problems (changed to IP address but no success) and the network problem (tried to test the connections with no success...) It turned out to be that the setting is not trimmed and the additional space character in the end of the setting caused the problem... OMG!!!... Searching on the Internet, we find we are really not alone. So many users encountered similar trim problems!
