Seeing as there is no search function on the archives, I'm relegated to asking a possibly redundant question or four:
I have, as a sample setup: idx1-tracker JobTracker idx2-namenode NameNode idx3-slave DataTracker ... idx20-slave DataTracker Q1: Can I put the same hadoop-site.xml file on all machines or do I need to configure each machine separately? Q2: My current setup does not seem to find a primary namenode, but instead wants to put idx1 and idx2 as secondary namenodes; as a result, I am not getting anything usable on any of the web addresses (50030, 50050, 50070, 50090). Q3: Possibly connected to Q1: The current setup seems to go out and start on all machines (masters/slaves); when I say "bin/start-mapred.sh" on the JobTracker, I get the answer "jobtracker running...kill it first". Q4: Do I even *need* a secondary namenode? IWBN if I did not have to maintain three separate configuration files (jobtracker/namenode/datatracker). -- James Graham (Greywolf) | 650.930.1138|925.768.4053 * [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Check out what people are saying about SearchMe! -- click below http://www.searchme.com/stack/109aa
