Why Hadoop name node connecting to weird [aca8ca1d.ipt.aol.com] hostname?

Question

I am using a mac system and starting a hadoop system, using the command:

start-dfs.sh

and my hostname is "ctpllt072.local" as returned by "hostname" command. But i am getting a weird hostname and message when connecting starting the name node as follows:

Starting namenodes on [aca8ca1d.ipt.aol.com]
aca8ca1d.ipt.aol.com: ssh: connect to host aca8ca1d.ipt.aol.com port 22: Operation timed out

I have nothing in my system as specified [aca8ca1d.ipt.aol.com], neither in /etc/hosts nor in any property file.

Here are my hdfs, yarn and core-site xml files:

Searched out for the reason on web, but no luck. Please suggest what could be the issue and how to resolve it.

Answer 1

Got the solution, i was actually trying to connect the aol server by mistake. My IP starts with 192.168.. and aloes ip is 172.168.. as stated on web (screenshot attached).

So changed my configuration to

<configuration>
   <property>
      <name>fs.defaultFS</name>
      <value>hdfs://192.168.***.***/</value>
   </property>
</configuration>
