I am seeing this log on the screen when running from my client (hadoop -copyFromLocal)
11/01/04 06:49:24 INFO hdfs.DFSClient: Exception in createBlockOutputStream java .net.ConnectException: Connection refused I can't find where the logs are for this hadoop client process run to see what machine it is having trouble connecting to so I can run the standard debugging to see why that port is not available on that machine, but I don't know which port or which machine it's trying to reach. Any idea where those lots are? Also, if developers could add a try{}catch(ConnectionRefused) rethrow new ConnectionRefused("Connection to <machine> <port> refused", e), that would rock so it would have just shown up in my hadoop client's log file. Anyways, any ideas, Thanks, Dean This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
