Hi, Even i am facing the same problem. There may be some issue with script . The doc says to start namenode type : bin/hdfs namenode start
But "start" is not recognized. There is a hack to start namenode with command "bin/hdfs namenode &" , but no idea how to stop. If it had been a issue with config , the later also should not have worked. Thanks, Nitin 2011/11/30 cat fa <boost.subscrib...@gmail.com> > In fact it's me to say sorry.
