Hadoop yarn node list shows slaves as localhost.localdomain:#somenumber. connection refuse exception - hadoop

Question

I have got connection refuse exception from localhost.localdomain/127.0.0.1 to localhost.localdomain:55352 when trying to run wordcount program.
yarn node -list gives
hduser#localhost:/usr/local/hadoop/etc/hadoop$ yarn node -list

What I understood is master is wrongly trying to connect to slaves on localhost. Please help me resolve this. Any suggestion is appreciated. Thank you.

Here is the code how NodeManager builds the NodeId:
private NodeId buildNodeId(InetSocketAddress connectAddress,
String hostOverride) {
if (hostOverride != null) {
connectAddress = NetUtils.getConnectAddress(
new InetSocketAddress(hostOverride, connectAddress.getPort()));
}
return NodeId.newInstance(
connectAddress.getAddress().getCanonicalHostName(),
connectAddress.getPort());
}
NodeManager tries to get the canonical hostname from the binding address, localhost will be gotten by given address 127.0.0.1.
So in your case, on the slave host, localhost.localdomain is the default host name for address 127.0.0.1, and the possible solution might be changing the first line of /etc/hosts on your slaves respectively to:
127.0.0.1 slave1 localhost.localdomain localhost
and
127.0.0.1 slave2 localhost.localdomain localhost
