Hi, This is the situation: a Hadoop cluster running on a Linux environment (version 2.5.0 CDH 5.3.3). We can contact the cluster on a Linux client with no issues and perform jobs on it.
{bash} $ hadoop --config ../etc/myenvironment fs -ls / {bash} => is working fine On a Windows machine, we use exactly the same configuration and client, but the connection to the server takes a very longs time and eventually gets killed. {bash} $ hadoop --config ../etc/myenvironment/ fs -ls / Java config name: null Native config name: C:\WINDOWS\krb5.ini 2016-07-11 15:25:21,138 INFO [main] ipc.Client (Client.java:handleConnectionTimeout(814)) - Retrying connect to server: XXX:8020.

Already tried 2 time(s); maxRetries=45 ... {bash} I think I'm running into this issue: https://discuss.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203758976-hdfs-dfs-ls-commands-will-hang-indefinitely-when-secure-hdfs-is-enabled Although my principal looks OK: {bash} $ klist Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_1291429 Default principal: myusername@mydomain Valid starting Expires Service principal 07/11/2016 15:03:00 07/12/2016 01:03:00 krbtgt/mydomain@mydomainname renew until 07/11/2016 15:03:00 {bash} Any idea how I can debug this?
