Incorrect configuration: namenode address dfs.namenode.rpc-address is not configured


I too was facing the same issue and finally found that there was a space in fs.default.name value. truncating the space fixed the issue. The above core-site.xml doesn't seem to have space so the issue may be different from what i had. my 2 cents


These steps solved the problem for me:

  • export HADOOP_CONF_DIR = $HADOOP_HOME/etc/hadoop
  • echo $HADOOP_CONF_DIR
  • hdfs namenode -format
  • hdfs getconf -namenodes
  • ./start-dfs.sh


check the core-site.xml under $HADOOP_INSTALL/etc/hadoop dir. Verify that the property fs.default.name is configured correctly
