[jira] [Resolved] (MAPREDUCE-65) TaskTrackers never (re)connect back to the JobTracker if the JobTracker node/machine is changed

["Allen Wittenauer (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-65?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Allen Wittenauer resolved MAPREDUCE-65.
---------------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

Closing this as Won't Fix.

There are a multitude of ways to get a TT to talk to a new JT, even pre-2.x.  The key is to not use the machine's IP, but to use  a name that can move (either IP alias or BGP published or whatever).

> I tried the following 
> 1) Started a hadoop cluster.
> 2) Killed the JT
> 3) Selected a new node for starting JT. 
> 4) Changed the entry on the tasktracker to reflect the new (old) hostname to (new) ip mapping. Checked if the tracker node correctly resolves the hostname to the new ip.
> 5) Start the JT on the new node
> The tasktracker fails to connect to the new jobtracker. It seems that the hostname resolution remains stale and is never updated.
