Oozie jobs struck in running state

Question

I installed oozie 4.0.1 on a hadoop 2.2 cluster. After that, I tried to run a oozie job(java action). Everything seems to be fine :

• When I run job.properties,it gives the job id as usually.
• When i checked oozie console job is in running state.
• It runs the java code.

However, oozie suddenly stops and shows the following error.

  ACTION[0000001-140526105244150-oozie-labu-W@javaMainAction] Exception in check().    Message[java.net.ConnectException: Call From labuser-VirtualBox/127.0.1.1 to localhost:10020 failed on connection exception: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused; For more details see:  http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/ConnectionRefused]

What is the problem ?

Answer 1

If you are working in hadoop-2.2.0 you must start job historyserver to avoid the above mentioned error.

By default historyserver was located in hadoop/sbin. while starting hadoop some times jobhistory server will not run so must start jobhistory server manually using below command.

hadoop/sbin/mr-jobhistory-daemon.sh start historyserver
