Hi,
I'm trying to copy data from an older cluster using 0.89 (CDH3b3) to a new
one using 0.91 (CDH3b4) using the CopyTable MR job but it always hangs on
"map 0% reduce 0%" until eventually the job is killed by Hadoop for not
responding after 600 seconds.
I verified that it works fine when copying from one table to another on the
same cluster and I verified that the servers in the source cluster have
network access to those in the destination cluster.

Any idea what could be causing it?

No idea anyone?

Hi Eran,

We need more details. It sounds like an issue with the ZooKeeper
quorum. In other words that it cannot connect to the ZK servers. Often
this is then logged during the task failures as it trying to connect
to localhost. Could you grab more logs and up them to pastebin or some
such?

Strangely enough I did answer that question the day you sent it but it
doesn't show up on the mailing list aggregators even tho gmail marks
it as sent... anyways here's what I said:

It won't work because those versions aren't wire-compatible.

What you can do instead is doing an Export, distcp the files, then do
an Import. If the hadoop versions are different, use the hftp
interface like the distcp documentation recommends.

Double thanks (one for each reply) J-D, I'll use distcp as you suggest.
