UnregisteredNodeException causing dataNode on slave to trigger a failure

I have a Hadoop 2.5 cluster of two machines, on the slave, the node data is failing with UnregisteredNodeException

. Here's the basic configuration:

master$ jps
5036 Jps
7145 DataNode
918 ResourceManager
7338 SecondaryNameNode
6986 NameNode
1105 NodeManager

      

        
        
        
      

    

For a subordinate

slave$ jps
15950 Jps
26650 NodeManager

      

        
        
        
      

    

Here is the complete stack trace from hadoop-hadoop-datanode-slave.log

:

When I issue hdfs dfsadmin -report

to either of the two machines, I see the following:

Also, I can see / control the slave computer from the Resource Manger web interface, so what is causing this failure and how can I fix it?
