Any idea about how to resolve this error?

Answer 1

Ok got the problem solved.
Since I was using my single-node cluster through a network proxy, I had added the following property line to $HADOOP_HOME/conf/mapred-site.xml to by-pass proxy server while communicating across Hadoop daemons.
However, this time I was trying out on a direct internet connection, so had to comment out the property that I added in mapred-site.xml.
Below is the property from mapred-site.xml that I commented out:
<!--
<property>
<name>hadoop.rpc.socket.factory.class.default</name>
<value>org.apache.hadoop.net.StandardSocketFactory</value>
<final>true</final>
<description>
Prevent proxy settings set up by clients in their job configs from affecting our connectivity.
</description>
</property>
