Jobtracker API error - Call to localhost/127.0.0.1:50030 failed on local exception: java.io.EOFException

Question

I m trying to connect my jobtracker using Java.
The below shown is the program I am trying to execute

                   public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {

            Configuration conf = new Configuration();
            conf.addResource(new Path(
                    "/home/user/hadoop-1.0.3/conf/core-site.xml"));
            conf.addResource(new Path(
                    "/home/user/hadoop-1.0.3/conf/hdfs-site.xml"));
            conf.addResource(new Path(
                    "/home/user/hadoop-1.0.3/conf/mapred-site.xml"));


            InetSocketAddress jobtracker = new InetSocketAddress("localhost", 50030);
            JobClient jobClient = new JobClient(jobtracker, conf);
            jobClient.setConf(conf);
            JobStatus[] jobs = jobClient.jobsToComplete();

            for (int i = 0; i < jobs.length; i++) {
                JobStatus js = jobs[i];
                if (js.getRunState() == JobStatus.RUNNING) {
                    JobID jobId = js.getJobID();
                    System.out.println(jobId);
                }
            }

This is the exception i get. Even i though i try replacing localhost with 127.0.0.1 it doesnt work . The same error.

I added all the jars related to hadoop . I cant understand why "/" is comming in between localhost/127.0.0.1:50030

Solution

Have you tried the actual jobtracker port number, rather than the http port (50030).

Try the port number listed in your $HADOOP_HOME/conf/mapred-site.xml under the mapred.job.tracker property. Here's my pseudo mapred-site.xml conf

<property>
    <name>mapred.job.tracker</name>
    <value>localhost:9001</value>
</property>

If you look at the JobTracker.getAddress(Configuration) method, you can see it uses this property if you don't explicitly specify the jobtracker host / port:

public static InetSocketAddress getAddress(Configuration conf) {
  String jobTrackerStr =
    conf.get("mapred.job.tracker", "localhost:8012");
  return NetUtils.createSocketAddr(jobTrackerStr);
}

localhost/127.0.0.1:50030 is just a string representation, it does not mean that he tries to connect to that address. Do you run Hadoop 1.x on your local host?

[Lorand Bendig]

Make sure that there's no version mismatch between your cluster and client Hadoop version

replacing 50030 with 9001 helped. it should be actual job tracker port instead of web url port.
