Question

Hadoop app hangs due to container token and NM token error

I am new to Hadoop development and I am trying to install a multi-node cluster on Hadoop 2.4.1. However, I am facing some problems. When I try to execute the example (wordcount or pi), execution stops at

INFO mapreduce.Job: Running job: job_1412689235580_0001

and parsing the logs, I get a repeated error in the Resourcemanager log:
