[Hive-users] re: CellListAgent

[Suranga C. <sc...@ca...>]

Hi all,

I've been playing with Hive for a couple of months now and never had any
real problems, but recently I get a hang while a new cell is being
setup.  Specifically, it happens when CellListAgent issues the following
message :

<NOTICE CellListAgentImpl.java:441> Tracking
hive://sc258.kings.cam.ac.uk:6363 2Apr2000-04:04:38.030

Basically, the code hangs at this point for a variable length of time (the
worst ever was about five minutes) and then proceeds as normal.  I'm not
sure, but I get the feeling this is to do with the code looking at the
default CellList url
(nelson.www.media.mit.edu/people/nelson/tmp/hiveMasterCell) and that
taking a long time to come through.  The main reasoning behind this is
that if I try and look at Nelson's pages on my web browser, they seem to
take a similar time too.

Anyway, does anyone know if this diagnosis is correct and, if so, what
does the hiveMasterCell file actually look like and could I just re-create
it on my machine and point the code towards that instead while I'm
coding/testing?

Thanks,

Suranga
