hadoop connection refused on port 9000
The short and sweet answer is that your node service is not running. simply do
$HADOOP_HOME/bin/hdfs
Use absolute path for this and make sure the hadoop user has permissions to access this directory:-
<property>
<name>dfs.data.dir</name>
<value>~/hacking/hd-data/dn</value>
</property>
also make sure you format this path like
# hadoop namenode -format
Modify the core-sit.xml from
hdfs://localhost:9000
to
hdfs:// YOUR REAL MASTER IP ADDRESS:9000
e.g.
hdfs://192.168.111.10:9000
works for me!
