On my (now horribly outdated) blog, I show how to prefer IPv4 in java, through command line options. I don't know if/how this would translate to a windows/cygwin setup... but I thought I'd throw it out there anyway...
export HADOOP_OPTS=-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true more details can be found at: http://www.travishegner.com/2009/06/hadoop-020-on-ubuntu-server-904-jaunty.html HTH, Travis Hegner http://www.travishegner.com/ -----Original Message----- From: Mark Laffoon [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, July 26, 2010 10:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Win7/cygwin SocketException: Address family not supported by protocol Have you tried disabling ipv6? -----Original Message----- From: Jack Park [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, July 23, 2010 6:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Win7/cygwin SocketException: Address family not supported by protocol I followed these marvelous instructions at http://hbase.apache.org/docs/r0.20.4/cygwin.html and got most everything to be configured correctly, localhost started, etc. But, when I run start-hbase.sh, I regularly get the error mentioned in the subject line. >From the web, it's suggested to tweak Windows hosts to say 127.0.0.1 localhost which I did. No change. If I ping 127.0.0.1, it answers just fine. Can anyone point to something I missed?
