Hi,
My question is about how to configure HDFS in case my computer is not able to connect directly to the namenode server. To be more precise, at the moment I have to use a jump server to connect with the Hadoop Stack. I therefore use putty together with port forwarding to get access to different Hadoop tools with my local (desktop) tools (connection to the jumps server with different port forwarding's to nodes in the cluster). That works pretty fine for Impala but now I struggle with the HDFS connection. My putty connection forwards the local port 18020 to namenode.hostname:8020. Inside Toad I then use host "localhost" and port 18020 to configure HDFS. But Toad says "HDFS configuration:
A problem has occured. NameNode host is not specified as FQDN." But using FQDN seems to be difficult, or not?
Is there any trick to get the connection working?
Thanks and best regards,
Roberto
