Hadoop Name node is not getting started

Question

I'm trying to configure Hadoop in fully distributed mode with 1 master and 1 slave as different nodes. I have attached a screenshot showing the status of my master and slave nodes.

In Master: ubuntu@hadoop-master:/usr/local/hadoop/etc/hadoop$ $HADOOP_HOME/bin/hdfs dfsadmin -refreshNodes

refreshNodes: Failed on local exception: com.google.protobuf.InvalidProtocolBufferException: Protocol message tag had invalid wire type.; Host Details : local host is: "hadoop-master/127.0.0.1"; destination host is: "hadoop-master":8020;

This is the error I'm getting when I try to run the refresh nodes command. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing or what mistake have I done ?

Answer 1

Your error logs clearly say that It is not able to bind the default port.

java.net.BindException: Problem binding to [hadoop-master:8020] java.net.BindException: Address already in use; For more details see:  http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/BindException

You need to change the default port to some port which is free.

Here is the list of ports given in hdfs-default.xml and here.

Answer 2

Try to format the Namenode. $] hadoop namenode -format

Answer 3

Check your namenode address in core-site.xml. Change to 50070 or 9000 and try

The default address of namenode web UI is http://localhost:50070/. You can open this address in your browser and check the namenode information.

The default address of namenode server is hdfs://localhost:8020/. You can connect to it to access HDFS by HDFS api. The is the real service address.

Answer 4

DFS needs to be formatted. Just issue the following command ;

hadoop namenode -format

Or

hdfs namenode -format
