Yarn MapReduce Job Issue - AM Container launch error in Hadoop 2.3.0

Question

I have setup a 2 node cluster of Hadoop 2.3.0. Its working fine and I can successfully run distributedshell-2.2.0.jar example. But when I try to run any mapreduce job I get error. I have setup MapRed.xml and other configs for running MapReduce job according to (http://www.alexjf.net/blog/distributed-systems/hadoop-yarn-installation-definitive-guide) but I am getting following error :

14/03/22 20:31:17 INFO mapreduce.Job: Job job_1395502230567_0001 failed with state FAILED due to: Application application_1395502230567_0001 failed 2 times due to AM Container for appattempt_1395502230567_0001_000002 exited

    Container exited with a non-zero exit code 1
    .Failing this attempt.. Failing the application.
    14/03/22 20:31:17 INFO mapreduce.Job: Counters: 0
    Job ended: Sat Mar 22 20:31:17 PKT 2014
    The job took 6 seconds.

And if look at stderr (log of job) there is only one line "Could not find or load main class 614"

Now I have googled it and usually this issues comes when you have different JAVA versions or in yarn-site.xml classpath is not properly set , my yarn-site.xml has this

  <property>
    <name>yarn.application.classpath</name>
    <value>/opt/yarn/hadoop-2.3.0/etc/hadoop,/opt/yarn/hadoop-2.3.0/*,/opt/yarn/hadoop-2.3.0/lib/*,/opt/yarn/hadoop-2.3.0/*,/opt/yarn/hadoop-2.3.0/lib/*,/opt/yarn/hadoop-2.3.0/*,/opt/yarn/hadoop-2.3.0/lib/*,/opt/yarn/hadoop-2.3.0/*,/opt/yarn/hadoop-2.3.0/lib/*</value>
  </property>

So any other ideas what could be the issue here ?

I am running my mapreduce job like this:

$HADOOP_PREFIX/bin/hadoop jar $HADOOP_PREFIX/share/hadoop/mapreduce/hadoop-mapreduce-examples-2.2.0.jar randomwriter out

I encountered the same problem when trying to install Hortonworks HDP 2.1 manually. I managed to capture the container launcher script which contained the following:

#!/bin/bash

The line that sets CLASSPATH was the culprit. To resolve the problem I had to set the variables HADOOP_COMMON_HOME, HADOOP_HDFS_HOME, HADOOP_YARN_HOME, and HADOOP_MAPRED_HOME in hadoop-env.sh to point to the appropriate directories under /usr/lib. In each of those directories I also had to setup the share/hadoop/... subdirectory hierarchy where the jars could be found.

Answer 2

I solved this question with the following:

Because in my hadoop/etc/hadoop[hadoop-2.7.3 configuration catalog]:About mapred-site.xml:

<configuration>
 <property>
  <name>mapreduce.framework.name</name>
  <value>yarn</value>
 </property>
 <property>
   <name>mapreduce.jobhistory.address</name>
   <value>zhangjunj:10020</value>
 </property>
 <property>
    <name>mapreduce.jobhistory.webapp.address</name>
    <value>zhangjunj:19888</value>
 </property>
</configuration>

In this file. The 'zhangjunj' must be your master's machine name, but I had written 'hadoop' in the beginning.
