Error of start of the demon of Namenode

Question

My purpose - to launch the demon of namenode. It is necessary for me to work with file system of hdfs, to copy there files from local file system, to create folders in hdfs, and it requires start of the demon of namenode on the port specified in the configuration /conf/core-site.xml file. I launched a script

./hadoop namenode

and I received as a result the following messages

Help to launch the demon of namenode for further start of hadoop of application.

Answer 1

Check that your IP address is mapped correctly in /etc/hosts file. Check using ifconfig and map to the correct DNS name. This error is thrown if the mapping is not correct also.

Answer 2

2013-02-17 12:30:26,761 ERROR org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.NameNode: java.net.BindException: Address already in use

Looks like you already have a process running on the same port at the one the Name Node binds to. Probably means you already have an instance of the name node process running.

You should be able to use either the jps -v command to list the running java processes for the current user, or ps aww | grep java to list all running java processes.
