Yes, the namenode port is not open for your cluster. I had this problem to. First, log into your namenode and do netstat -nap to see what ports are listening. You can do service --status-all to see if the namenode service is running. Basically you need Hadoop to bind to the correct ip (an external one, or at least reachable from your remote machine). So listening on 127.0.0.1 or localhost or some ip for a private network will not be sufficient. Check your /etc/hosts file and /etc/hadoop/conf/*-site.xml files to configure the correct ip/ports.
I'm no expert, so my understanding might be limited/wrong...but I hope this helps :) Best, B On Mon, Apr 8, 2013 at 7:29 AM, Saurabh Jain <saurabh_j...@symantec.com>wrote: > Hi All,**** > > ** ** > > I have setup a single node cluster(release hadoop-1.0.4).
