Cannot initialize Cluster. Please check your configuration for mapreduce.framework.name and the correspond server addresses-submiting job2remoteClustr

I had a similar error and added the following jars to classpath and it worked for me: hadoop-mapreduce-client-jobclient-2.2.0.2.0.6.0-76:hadoop-mapreduce-client-shuffle-2.3.0.jar:hadoop-mapreduce-client-common-2.3.0.jar

It's likely that your app is looking at your old Hadoop 1.x configuration files. Maybe your app hard-codes some config? This error tends to indicate you are using the new client libraries but that they are not seeing new-style configuration.

It must exist since the command-line tools see them fine. Check your HADOOP_HOME or HADOOP_CONF_DIR env variables too although that's what the command line tools tend to pick up, and they work.

Note that you need to install the 'mapreduce' service and not 'yarn' in CDH 4.4 to make it compatible with MR1 clients. See also the '...-mr1-...' artifacts in Maven.

In my case, this error was due to the version of the jars, make sure that you are using the same version as in the server.
