Eli Collins commented on HDFS-2893: ----------------------------------- Actually, I don't see why sbin/start-dfs.sh checks the return value of getconf before starting the 2NN, seems like it should start the 2NN unconditionally. The 2NN itself does not use DFSUtil#getSecondaryNameNodeAddresses and so will start w/o a value for http-address being specified. > The 2NN won't start if dfs.namenode.secondary.http-address is default or > specified with a wildcard IP and port > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-2893 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2893 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.23.1 > Reporter: Eli Collins > Priority: Critical > > Looks like DFSUtil address matching doesn't find a match if the http-address > is specified using a wildcard IP and a port. It should return 0.0.0.0:50090 > in this case which would allow the 2NN to start. > Also, unless http-address is explicitly configured in hdfs-site.xml the 2NN > will not start, since DFSUtil#getSecondaryNameNodeAddresses does not use the > default value as a fallback. That may be confusing to people who expect the > default value to be used. > {noformat} > hadoop-0.23.1-SNAPSHOT $ cat /home/eli/hadoop/conf3/hdfs-site.xml > ... > <property> > <name>dfs.namenode.secondary.http-address</name> > <value>0.0.0.0:50090</value> > </property> > </configuration> > hadoop-0.23.1-SNAPSHOT $ ./bin/hdfs --config ~/hadoop/conf3 getconf > -secondarynamenodes > 0.0.0.0 > hadoop-0.23.1-SNAPSHOT $ ./sbin/start-dfs.sh > Starting namenodes on [localhost] > localhost: starting namenode, logging to > /home/eli/hadoop/dirs3/logs/eli/hadoop-eli-namenode-eli-thinkpad.out > localhost: starting datanode, logging to > /home/eli/hadoop/dirs3/logs/eli/hadoop-eli-datanode-eli-thinkpad.out > Secondary namenodes are not configured.
