I've been trying to launch Hadoop by typing any command, for example, entering " Hadoop fs -ls" in the terminal and I get this error

Notice Hadoop was running perfectly after my IP suddenly changed to XXX.XXX.XX.129. this error accrued. I don't know how to make/configure Hadoop launch on the same IP address 

 

Thank you

Do you have the address quickstart.cloudera in /etc/hosts? If this is set incorrectly then trying to access the cluster using the hostname will always attempt to use the old address. Update the address in the hosts file and try again, see if that helps.

Edit the file /etc/hosts. It maps the hostname to the IP address. In most cases the quickstart VM gets this right, if you experience an issue restarting usually fixes it.
