Arpit Agarwal created HDFS-9109: ----------------------------------- Summary: dfs.datanode.dns.interface does not work with hosts file based setups Key: HDFS-9109 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9109 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Components: datanode Reporter: Arpit Agarwal Assignee: Arpit Agarwal
The configuration setting {{dfs.datanode.dns.interface}} lets the DataNode select its hostname by doing a reverse lookup of IP addresses on the specific network interface. This does not work {{when /etc/hosts}} is used to setup alternate hostnames, since {{DNS#reverseDns}} only queries the DNS servers. Let's add a fallback option for hosts file. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
