Cannot initialize cluster exception while running

Question

The question is linked to my previous question All the daemons are running, jps shows:

6663 JobHistoryServer
7213 ResourceManager
9235 Jps
6289 DataNode
6200 NameNode
7420 NodeManager

but the wordcount example keeps on failing with the following exception:

ERROR security.UserGroupInformation: PriviledgedActionException as:root (auth:SIMPLE) cause:java.io.IOException: Cannot initialize Cluster. Please check your configuration for mapreduce.framework.name and the correspond server addresses.
Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Cannot initialize Cluster. Please check your configuration for mapreduce.framework.name and the correspond server addresses.

Since it says the problem is in configuration, I am posting the configuration files here. The intention is to create a single node cluster.

yarn-site.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
 <configuration>
<property>
   <name>yarn.nodemanager.aux-services</name>
   <value>mapreduce_shuffle</value>
</property>
<property>
   <name>yarn.nodemanager.aux-services.mapreduce.shuffle.class</name>
   <value>org.apache.hadoop.mapred.ShuffleHandler</value>
</property>
</configuration>

core-site.xml

<configuration>
<property>
   <name>fs.default.name</name>
   <value>hdfs://localhost:9000</value>
</property>
</configuration>

hdfs-site.xml

 <configuration>
 <property>
   <name>dfs.replication</name>
   <value>1</value>
 </property>
 <property>
   <name>dfs.namenode.name.dir</name>
   <value>file:/home/hduser/yarn/yarn_data/hdfs/namenode</value>
 </property>
 <property>
   <name>dfs.datanode.data.dir</name>
   <value>file:/home/hduser/yarn/yarn_data/hdfs/datanode</value>
 </property>
 </configuration>

mapred-site.xml

<configuration>
  <property>
      <name>mapreduce.framework.name</name>
      <value>Yarn</value>
  </property>
</configuration>

Please tell what is missing or what am I doing wrong.

Answer 1

I was having similar issue, but yarn was not the issue. After adding following jars into my classpath issue got resolved:

• hadoop-mapreduce-client-jobclient-2.2.0.2.0.6.0-76
• hadoop-mapreduce-client-common-2.2.0.2.0.6.0-76
• hadoop-mapreduce-client-shuffle-2.2.0.2.0.6.0-76

Answer 2

In my case i was trying to use sqoop and ran into this error. Turns out that i was pointing to the latest version of hadoop 2.0 available from CDH repo for which sqoop was not supported. The version of cloudera was 2.0.0-cdh4.4.0 which had yarn support build in.

When i used 2.0.0-cdh4.4.0 under hadoop-0.20 the problem went away.
Hope this helps.

Answer 3

changing mapreduce_shuffle to mapreduce.shuffle made it work in my case

Answer 4

Looks like i had a lucky day and went with this exception through 'all' of those causes. Summary:

• wrong mapreduce.framework.name (see above)
• missing mapreduce job-client jars (see above)
• wrong version (see Cannot initialize Cluster. Please check your configuration for mapreduce.framework.name and the correspond server addresses-submiting job2remoteClustr )
• my configured 'yarn.ipc.client.factory.class' wasn't in the classpath of the yarn server's (just on the client)

Answer 5

You have uppercased Yarn, which is probably why it can not resolve it. Try the lowercase version that is suggested in the official documentation.

<configuration>
  <property>
      <name>mapreduce.framework.name</name>
      <value>yarn</value>
  </property>
</configuration>
