File jobtracker.info could only be replicated to 0 nodes, instead of 1

Question

I am trying to setup Hadoop cluster on Fedora 17. When I give /bin/star-all.sh command daemons are getting started on masters and slaves nodes. But when I view log file for data node on master node I get following EROOR

ERROR org.apache.hadoop.security.UserGroupInformation: PriviledgedActionException as:hadoop1 cause:java.io.IOException: File /home/hadoop1/mapred/system/jobtracker.info could only be replicated to 0 nodes, instead of 1

I am also trying to run wordcound program. While copying data into HDFS using command

$bin/hadoop dfs -copyFromLocal /home/hadoop1/Documents/wordcount/ /home/hadoop1/hdfs/data I get following error

Help in this regard is appreciated..

Answer 1

I managed to solve this issue...

Step I) There was firewall active on master and slaves node machines.. I disabled it by following command "systemctl disable iptables.service"

Step II) I wrongly assigned "hdfs://localhost:9100" to "fs.default.name" in slave's core-sites.xml configuration file. I changed it to "hdfs://master:9100"

Now my Hadoop Cluster is Up..

Thank You Chris for your kind help...

Answer 2

My reason for this error was not enough space on disk (~200MB was not enough).
