Hadoop格式化HDFS报错java.net.UnknownHostException: localhost.localdomain: localhost.localdomain

异常描述:

在对HDFS格式化，执行hadoop namenode -format命令时，出现未知的主机名的问题，异常信息如下所示：

 [shirdrn@localhost bin]$ hadoop namenode -format

我们通过执行hostname命令可以看到：

[shirdrn@localhost bin]# hostname
localhost.localdomain

也就是说，Hadoop在格式化HDFS的时候，通过hostname命令获取到的主机名是localhost.localdomain，然后在/etc/hosts文件中进行映射的时候，没有找到，看下我的/etc/hosts内容：

[root@localhost bin]# cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1               localhost       localhost
192.168.1.103           localhost       localhost

也就说，通过localhost.localdomain根本无法映射到一个IP地址，所以报错了。

此时，我们查看一下/etc/sysconfig/network文件：

NETWORKING=yes
NETWORKING_IPV6=yes
HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain

可见，执行hostname获取到这里配置的HOSTNAME的值。

解决方法

修改/etc/sysconfig/network中HOSTNAME的值为localhost，或者自己指定的主机名，保证localhost在/etc/hosts文件中映射为正确的IP地址，然后重新启动网络服务：

[root@localhost bin]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart
Shutting down interface eth0:  [  OK  ]
Shutting down loopback interface:  [  OK  ]
Bringing up loopback interface:  [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface eth0:
Determining IP information for eth0... done.
[  OK  ]

这时，再执行格式化HDFS命令，以及启动HDFS集群就正常了。

格式化：

[shirdrn@localhost bin]$ hadoop namenode -format
// :: INFO namenode.NameNode: STARTUP_MSG:
