Hi Long,
1. You can make it with a hardcore way: parsing the log file of job tracker to get the information about `task id` and hostname of its node.

2. This is a sample code to get IP Address from hostname using InetAddress:

|java.net.InetAddress inetAdd = 
java.net.InetAddress.getByName("www.google.com");
String ipAdress = inetAdd.|getHostAddress()

Just for out of curiosity, what is your purpose of getting *location* of map task when running a MapReduce job?

Thanks Amogh. For my application, I want each map task reports to me
where it's running. However, I have no idea how to use Java
Inetaddress APIs to get that info. Could you explain more?

For starters look at any monitoring tool like vaidya, hadoop UI ( ganglia too, 
haven't read much on it though ). Not sure if you need this for debugging 
purposes or for some other real-time app.. You should be able to get info on 
localhost of each of your map tasks in a pretty straightforward way using Java 
Inetaddress APIs( and use that info for search?)

Thanks,

Hi all,

Given a map task, I need to know the IP address of the machine where
that task is running. Is there any existing method to get that
information?

Thank you,
Van
