[jira] [Resolved] (HADOOP-7198) Hadoop defaults for web UI ports often fall smack in the middle of Linux ephemeral port range

["Andrew Wang (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7198?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Andrew Wang resolved HADOOP-7198.
---------------------------------
    Resolution: Duplicate

Believe this is handled by HDFS-9427 and related JIRAs. Resolving; any remaining ports in the ephemeral range can be addressed in specific JIRAs.

> It turns out (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephemeral_port and  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range) that when you bind to port 0, Linux chooses an ephemeral port.  On my default-ridden Ubuntu Maverick box and on CentOS 5.5, that range is 32768-61000.  So, when HBase binds to 60030 or when mapReduce binds to 50070, there's a small chance that you'll conflict with, say, an FTP session, or with some other Hadoop daemon that's had a listening address configured as :0.
> I don't know that there's a practical resolution here, since changing the defaults seems like an ill-fated effort, but if you have any ephemeral port use, you can run into this.  We've now run into it once.
