I realize the JC runs in the AM YARN container. The SamzaContainers run in their own YARN containers, which may or may not be on the same node as the AM in the YARN grid. My point is simply that when they are not, it does not work. This is because the AM is telling the SamzaContainers to fetch the config from 127.0.0.1.

In our case, JC is running in the same container as the AM. So, I don't understand why this will cause an issue on cluster expansion. I can understand your concern if JC and AM are running on 2 separate containers. Please correct me if I have misunderstood your statement. Thanks!

Container start is coordinated by the AppMaster using an NMClient. Container host name and port is provided by the RM during allocation. In Yarn (at least, afaik), when the node joins a cluster, the NM registers itself with the RM. So, the NM might still be using getLocalhost.getAddress(). I don't know of any other way to programmatically fetch the machine's hostname (apart from some hacky shell commands).

As for the AM <-> container communication, if I am not mistaken, it is through the NMClient and the node HTTP address is wrapped within the Container object returned from RM. I am not very familiar with that part of source code. Navina may be able to help more here. -Yi On Thu, Jul 30, 2015 at 4:27 PM, Thomas Becker <tobec...@tivo.com><mailto:tobec...@tivo.com><mailto: tobec...@tivo.com><mailto:tobec...@tivo.com> wrote: Hi Yi, Thanks a lot for your reply. I don't doubt we can get it to work by mucking with the networking configuration, but to me this feels like a workaround, not a solution. InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress() is not a reliable way of obtaining an IP that other machines can connect to. Just today I tested on several Linux distros and it did not work on any of them. Can we do something more robust here? How does the container communicate status to the AM? -Tommy ________________________________________ From: Yi Pan [nickpa...@gmail.com<mailto:nickpa...@gmail.com><mailto:nickpa...@gmail.com><mailto:nickpa...@gmail.com>] Sent: Thursday, July 30, 2015 6:48 PM To: dev@samza.apache.org<mailto:dev@samza.apache.org><mailto:dev@samza.apache.org><mailto:dev@samza.apache.org> Subject: Re: Coordinator URL always 127.0.0.1 Hi, Tommy, I think that it might be a commonly asked question regarding to multiple IPs on a single host. A common trick w/o changing code is (copied from SO: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2381316/java-inetaddress-getlocalhost-returns-127-0-0-1-how-to-get-real-ip ) {code} 1. Find your host name.

After some investigation it seems as if the jobs are always getting a coordinator URL of http://127.0.0.1:<port> But my understanding is that the coordinator runs only in the AM, so I'd expect these URLs to more often than not be to some other machine. Looking at the code however, I'm not sure how that would ever happen since the URL for the coordinator always comes from InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress() in org.apache.samza.coordinator.server.HttpServer#getUrl Am I off base here?
