Hadoop/Kerberos issue

avatar
Rising Star

I have a two node cluster – apache hadoop.

 

On my namenode host, datanode is also running.

 

I enabled kerberos security on the cluster using : http://queryio.com/hadoop-big-data-docs/hadoop-big-data-admin-guide/queryio/hadoop-security-setup-ke...

 

Host names are Hadoop2.hitex.com and Hadoop4.hitex.com. Due to initial caps in hostname, I saw issues in the log where it was using all lower case for host name – so I hard coded the host names in hdfs-site.xml

 

My user:group is hitex:hitex

 

The namenode and secondary namenode startup fine. But when I try to start the datanode (using sudo) on same host, it gives error as below. I think datanode is not able to connect to namenode :

In above log I can see that it is using lower case host name (datanode trying to connect to namenode) – but I rechecked everywhere and cannot find where it is defined so. As noted earlier I have hard coded hostname in hdfs-site.xml

 

Appreciate any help in resolving this – I have already spent 2 days on this without any breakthrough. Thanks.

I would appreciate any insights on how to handle the initial caps in hostname in kerberos setup - like the 'H' in Hadoop2.hitex.com which gets modified to hadoop2.hitex.com and so fails.
