decommision nodes not working(localhost vs. ips in website too)

["Hiller, Dean (Contractor)" <de...@broadridge.com>]

Luckily I am in dev so not a biggie, but datanode seems to be reading
from /etc/hosts(ie. Java calls to InetAddress.getLocalHost return
127.0.0.1 instead of the ip) when displaying the name of the live nodes.
When displaying the name fo the dead nodes however, it displays the
hostname in my slaves and excluded file.

 

I wonder why the hadoop script doesn't pass the FQDN from the slaves
file to the slave node upon start so there is no lookup of /etc/hosts
AND they could then bind to the correct FQDN as well if it wanted to I
guess.

 

Anyways, my dead node shows up in my live nodes list(as localhost which
it's not but with correct ip) and is not going to a decommissioned
state.  Is there any way to solve this? 

 

I read my /etc/hosts file is supposed to be 127.0.0.1 localhost
localhost.localdomain but to get the hostname to display correctly, I
need something more like 127.0.0.1 <FQDN> <hostname> instead as then I
know it would display properly there....and I may even have to change
the 127.0.0.1 to <ip> as InetAddress.getLocalHost returns whatever is in
/etc/hosts on any linux system I have ever been on (ubuntu, centos at
least).

 

Any way to fix this???

 

thanks,

Dean
