Unknown method getClusterMetrics [...] on ClientRMProtocol$ClientRMProtocolService$BlockingInterface protocol.

[Johannes Schaback <jo...@visual-meta.com>]

Dear all,

I am trying to run the submit the distributed shell client on a Windows
machine to submit it to a yarn resource manager on a Linux box. I am stuck
with the following client error message ...

Unknown method getClusterMetrics called on interface
org.apache.hadoop.yarn.proto.ClientRMProtocol$ClientRMProtocolService$BlockingInterface
protocol.

... which I get right after the

13/07/29 14:22:55 DEBUG ipc.RPC: Call: getClusterMetrics 115

... call. The distributed shell example works as expected when either
executed on the Linux box or on the Windows box in single mode setup.

A bit more context:
- hadoop version 0.23.9
- both machines run in the same network
- both machines use the same JDK 6
- user names differ between Windows client and Linux resource manager

The client log reads:

13/07/29 14:22:54 INFO service.AbstractService:

What exatly leads to this problem? Is it a known issue that RPC interfaces
are inconsistent over different OS? After all its all Java, so I dont
really expect that to be an issue, but I cant think of any other reason.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks and regards,

Johannes
