Secondary NameNode starting issue
---------------------------------

                 Key: HDFS-1492
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1492
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: scripts
    Affects Versions: 0.20.2
         Environment: GNU/Linux
            Reporter: Guanpeng Xu
            Priority: Minor


If the following setting is opened in conf/hadoop-env.sh:

# File naming remote slave hosts.  $HADOOP_HOME/conf/slaves by default.
# export HADOOP_SLAVES=${HADOOP_HOME}/conf/slaves

Secondary NameNode servers will be mis-started at the servers listed in the specified file.

This is because the script slaves.sh, which is the program that really starts secondary
NameNode servers, sets environment variables by sourcing bin/hadoop-config.sh.
And when sourcing bin/hadoop-config.sh, conf/hadoop-env.sh will be sourced too.
If HADOOP_SLAVES is set in hadoop-env.sh, it will override the previous value specified
with --host at the command line argument by start-dfs.sh.

This will result in BindException:

Exception in thread "main" java.net.BindException: Cannot assign requested address
