Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-6056:
----------------------------------------
I see that the Facebook scrips have this option set in hadoop-env.sh, and point
to a sun bug which causes sockets to hang when being opened on some linux
systems as the reason for the setting.
# work-around for http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6483406
export HADOOP_OPTS="$HADOOP_OPTS -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true"
Given that FB are running large hadoop clusters, we know the java.net option
does work at scale, the only issue is is everyone happy with this patch going
in to 0.22?
> Use java.net.preferIPv4Stack to force IPv4

> This was mentioned on HADOOP-3427, there is a property,
> java.net.preferIPv4Stack, which you set to true for the java net process to
> switch to IPv4 everywhere.
> As Hadoop doesn't work on IPv6, this should be set to true in the startup
> scripts. Hopefully this will ensure that Jetty will also pick it up.
