Lorenzo Thione updated HADOOP-497: ---------------------------------- Attachment: net-dns.patch > DataNodes and TaskTrackers should be able to report hostnames and ips > relative to customizable network interfaces and nameservers > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-497 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-497 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: mapred, dfs, util > Affects Versions: 0.6.0 > Reporter: Lorenzo Thione > Priority: Minor > Attachments: dnsjava-2.0.2.jar, net-dns.patch, nif-utils.patch > > > This patch allows for network configuration parameters to be aded to the > hadoop-site.xml file. These parameters specify a network interface name and > an optional nameserver hostname which DataNodes and TaskTrackers consult to > resolve their hostnames from the IP bound to the specified network interface. > This is useful when machines that are part of different physical or logical > network need to participate in hadoop clusters as client nodes. The hostname > and IP reported by InetAddress.getLocalHost() are not necessarily the ones > that will allow the JobTracker and NameNode to reach the clients, as well as > not necessarily the ones through which the DFS clients can reach the > DataNodes. > The configuration parameters are > - cluster.report.nif > - cluster.report.ns > nif: takes the name of a network interface, like en0, en1 (on macs), eth0, > etc... > ns: the host name of a DNS server to use when resolving the IP bound to the > specified nif > These parameters are set by default to the value "default" which will > replicate the current behavior of reporting > InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName() and getHostAddress() > As part of the patch, a new library dnsjava was added along with its license > information (BSD license). The list of affected files is: > src > org.apache.hadoop.dfs.DataNode > org.apache.hadoop.mapred.taskTracker > org.apache.hadoop.util.NetworkUtils > conf > hadoop-default.xml > lib > dnsjava-2.0.2.jar > dnsjava-2.0.2.LICENSE.txt -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
