Thanks for the quick response. Here's a snippet from my hdfs.site.xml file.
<name>dfs.http.address</name> <value>qq000:50070</value> qq000 is my name node. Is this correct? I have also noticed that my name node is crashing. It says my hdfs is in a inconsistent state. I guess I'll have to (shudder) rebuild it. The complete contents of hdfs.site.xml is below. <configuration> <property> <name>dfs.replication</name> <value>3</value> <description>Default block replication. The actual number of replications can be specified when the file is created. The default is used if replication is not specified in create time. </description> </property> <property> <name>dfs.name.dir</name> <value>file:///hdfs/name</value> </property> <property> <name>dfs.data.dir</name> <value>file:///hdfs/data</value> </property> <property> <name>dfs.hosts</name> <value>includes</value> <final>true</final> </property> <property> <name>dfs.hosts.exclude</name> <value>excludes</value> <final>true</final> </property> <property> <name>dfs.webhdfs.enabled</name> <value>true</value> </property> <property> <name>dfs.http.address</name> <value>qq000:50070</value> <description>The name of the default file system. Either the literal string "local" or a host:port for NDFS. </description> <final>true</final> </property> </configuration> On 2 February 2012 09:30, Harsh J <ha...@cloudera.com> wrote: > Geoffry, > > What is your "dfs.http.address" set to?
