[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-214) ClusterTestDFS fails

["Doug Cutting (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-214?page=comments#action_12383263 ] 

Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-214:
-------------------------------------

Having to change the hosts file for a test is not great.

Perhaps we could instead just alter Java to resolve hostnames differently while testing?

> The dfs unit tests, from the ant target 'cluster' have been failing. (ClusterTestDFSNamespaceLogging, ClusterTestDFS). I don't know if anyone but me cares about these tests, but I do. I would like to write better tests for dns. I think we all need that.
> They have been partially broken since  "test.dfs.same.host.targets.allowed" went away and replication ceased for these tests. 
> They got really broken when NameNode stopped automatically formatting itself .
> Since they seem to be ignored, I took the liberty of changing how they work.
> The main thing is, you must put this into your hosts file:
> 127.0.0.1       localhost0
> 127.0.0.1       localhost1
> 127.0.0.1       localhost2
> 127.0.0.1       localhost3
> 127.0.0.1       localhost4
> 127.0.0.1       localhost5
> 127.0.0.1       localhost6
> 127.0.0.1       localhost7
> 127.0.0.1       localhost8
> 127.0.0.1       localhost9
> 127.0.0.1       localhost10
> 127.0.0.1       localhost11
> 127.0.0.1       localhost12
> 127.0.0.1       localhost13
> 127.0.0.1       localhost14
> 127.0.0.1       localhost15
> This way you can start DataNodes, and TaskTrackers (up to 16 of them) with unique hostnames.
> Also, I changed all the places that used to call InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName() to get it from a new method in Configuration (this issue is the same as http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-197 ).
