MapReduce job hangs, waiting for AM container to be allocated

hadoop mapreduce yarn

I tried to run simple word count as MapReduce job. Everything works fine when run locally (all work done on Name Node). But, when I try to run it on a cluster using YARN (adding mapreduce.framework.name=yarn to mapred-site.conf) job hangs.

I came across a similar problem here: MapReduce jobs get stuck in Accepted state

Output from job:

//I the left commented options - they were not solving the problem

YarnApplicationState: ACCEPTED: waiting for AM container to be allocated, launched and register with RM.

YarnApplicationState: ACCEPTED: waiting for AM container to be allocated, launched and register with RM.

What can be the problem?

EDIT:

I tried this configuration (commented) on machines: NameNode(8GB RAM) + 2x DataNode (4GB RAM). I get the same effect: Job hangs on ACCEPTED state.

EDIT2: changed configuration (thanks @Manjunath Ballur) to:

Still not working. Additional info: I can see no nodes on cluster preview (similar problem here: Slave nodes not in Yarn ResourceManager ) enter image description here

You should check the status of Node managers in your cluster. If the NM nodes are short on disk space then RM will mark them "unhealthy" and those NMs can't allocate new containers.

1) Check the Unhealthy nodes: http://<active_RM>:8088/cluster/nodes/unhealthy

If the "health report" tab says "local-dirs are bad" then it means you need to cleanup some disk space from these nodes.

2) Check the DFS dfs.data.dir property in hdfs-site.xml. It points the location on local file system where hdfs data is stored.

3) Login to those machines and use df -h & hadoop fs - du -h commands to measure the space occupied.

4) Verify hadoop trash and delete it if it's blocking you. hadoop fs -du -h /user/user_name/.Trash and hadoop fs -rm -r /user/user_name/.Trash/*
