I have installed hadoop on ubuntu 14. I have install all following that how-to:

http://www.michael-noll.com/tutorials/running-hadoop-on-ubuntu-linux-multi-node-cluster/#java-io-ioexception-incompatible-namespaceids

but is not my first hadoop install.

The problem is that: datanode don't start. This is the log of datanode.log:

I have tried to format the namenode but without result.

Sometime in the console i read this message:

sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu

What is this message?

What is the problem ? and how i can solve it?

Answer 1

Update /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1    ubuntu

And /etc/hostname

ubuntu

Restart your pc after this.

Answer 2

When I run the hadoop-1.1.2 on Ubuntu, sometimes the datanode was not start. I know it by using jps command from terminal. When I faced like that I delete the data folder in my hadoop cluster. For me,

>rm -rf /var/opt/hadoop/cluster/dfs/data  
>/home/hadoop/hadoop-1.1.2/bin/hadoop namenode -format

after that, I called JPS again from terminal.At that time, datanode work properly. I don't know this is help to you or not.
