'slaves' and 'masters' file are generally only required in the master machine, and only if you are using the start-* scripts supplied with Hadoop for use with SSH (FAQ has an entry on this) from master. > 3. run ${HADOOP}/bin/hadoop datanode > But when I ran the commands on the master node, the master node was > recognized as a data node. 3. wasn't a valid command in this case. start-dfs.sh > When I ran the commands on the data node which I want to add, the data node > was not properly added.(The number of total data node didn't show any > change) What do the logs say for the DataNode on the slave? Does it start successfully? If fs.default.name is set properly in slave's core-site.xml it should be able to communicate properly if started (and if the version is not mismatched). -- Harsh J www.harshj.com
