unable to connect hadoop hdfs nameNode

avatar

hi, firstly i m super noob in big data. i install virtual box and cloudera. but when i clicked hdfs nameNode it says "unable to connect" and "cant establish to the server at quickstart.cloudera.50070.

 

i searched internet but as i said before this is first time in cloudera and linux and i can t follow the instructions. for example someone says "50070 is no longer avaible so change....." but dont know how to change it.

 

it is probably very simple thing but i need help. i try to solve this approx. 3 hours

 

- i ve tried to make network adapter bridged , result same

- i can connect internet with VM

- i also get "quickstart.cloudera:21050"  error in hue

@HoldYourBreath Check the below thread if that's useful.

Else you have to see if ports are open or not.

thank you for reply.

 

1)i ve already tried first link's steps. i changed nat, bridged nothing change. but i think it is working properly because i can access internet via VM ( am i right?)

2)"You'll also need to make sure that quickstart.cloudera is mapped to the
right IP address in the hosts file on the machine you're connecting from." i cant do it because i couldnt  understand it.  i need help in this step

3) i m working on 2nd link but it is much more above my level.

4) i beleive i m making some stupid configuration mistake. but because i m noob i can find it. because in my online education, instructor just click it and it is open. then he goes on 

5) i think that i should give up in big data for now:(

6) "sudo nmap -sT -p- 10.10.8.8" is not working. "sudo nmap command not found"

 

thank you for ur help.

@HoldYourBreath Here is my take on your questions. 

 

1. Yes, this means NAT is rightly configured. 

2. This means on your laptop you have to see /etc/hosts file and the entries in that. Ideally this should contain you VM address. 

3. You can use any other alternative, just google it and see the the most easy option. 

6. you have to install NMAP utility first and then this will work, Just run "sudo yum install nmap"

i think that its because of dns or vpn settings could you say what is the corroct one. now i change dns to automatic both host lan adapter and vm lan adapter in windos 10 . do i need to make anything inside vm machine? now it is still not working

 

2. i dont know what to do. plz give me a little hint?

3. basicly, what should i do in this step? mapping?

6." sudo yum install nmap" doesnt working it gives this error

"[cloudera@quickstart ~]$ sudo yum install nmap
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security
Setting up Install Process

I downloaded a CDH quickstart VM and imported it into my new Oracle Virtualbox 6.1 please find attached screenshots to show you my configs.


01.JPG-->is the network setup Adapter1 is Bridged Adapter and Adapter2 is NAT
02.JPG-->Bridged Adapter details
02b.JPG-->Memory setting I gave my quickstart Sandbox 16 GB 2 CPU my host has 32 GB 4CPU

I started the quickstart Sandbox and I was presented with the Classic UI

03.JPG-->CDH quickstart default sandbox UI

04.JPG-->Clicked to console see the arrow and run ifconfig , clearly it picked Bridged Adapter class C 192.168.x IP from my LAN and the default 10.x IP

05.JPG--> The host's host file entry with the FQDN though I used the IP to
05b.JPG--> Combined UI's to show VM, host file, and Chrome CM opened on port 7180
06.JPG--> Started these default quickstart roles
07.JPG--> Roles all running OK
08.JPG--> Detail of the HDFS overview on port 50070. I didn't do any changes to the FW etc
09.JPG--> File browser
10.JPG--> HUE UI on port 8888
11.JPG--> Files/Docs in HUE browser

I didn't encounter the same problems as you but I wanted to remind you also that ensure you have enough memory to allocate your sandbox.

@HoldYourBreath 
I now see what's happening you need the start the CM and all the roles on the  Quickstart VM before you can connect successfully through HUE

I also think you are really short on memory as you can see the Cloudera Express needs 8GB of memory and 2 CPU while the  Cloudera Enterprise needs at least 10GB and 2 CPU's you can see the highlighted parts.
I would advise you to spin up a Windows 10 VM in Azure and use that for your learning beware Cloudera no longer provides access to Quickstart you have CDP trial!!
