Can you please submit a bug for this, ideally with a patch for bin/hadoop? Thanks.
would be nice to add ".txt" suffix to the log and out files so that they can be viewed w/in the browser
Yes, that would be good. Or we might explicitly specify their content type somehow. Please submit another bug for this.
Now, the more critical issue. I'm wondering why, if I am understanding things correctly, why the DataNode *requires* DNS resolution vs optionally simply using the specified IP?
I can't think of a reason. Most folks define localhost to be 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts and then specify localhost for a standalone configuration. If for some reason you need to specify raw ip addresses, then please submit a bug and/or patch.
Thanks, Doug
