Getting the following error "Datanode denied communication with namenode" while configuring hadoop 0.23.8

Question

I am trying to configure hadoop 0.23.8 on my macbook and am running in with the following exception

org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.protocol.DisallowedDatanodeException: Datanode denied communication with namenode: 192.168.1.13:50010

My core-site.xml looks like this

<configuration>
<property>
<name>dfs.federation.nameservices</name>
<value>ns1</value>
</property>

<property>
<name>dfs.namenode.rpc-address.ns1</name>
<value>192.168.1.13:54310</value>
</property>

<property>
<name>dfs.namenode.http-address.ns1</name>
<value>192.168.1.13:50070</value>
</property>

<property>
<name>dfs.namenode.secondary.http-address.ns1</name>
<value>192.168.1.13:50090</value>
</property>
</configuration>

Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?

Answer 1

Had the same problem with 2.6.0, and shamouda's answer solved it (I was not using dfs.hosts at all so that could not be the answer. I did add

<property>
  <name>dfs.namenode.datanode.registration.ip-hostname-check</name>
  <value>false</value>
</property>

to hdfs-site.xml and that was enough to fix the issue.
