Research direction

Search the operator and its tests for the log messages “Datanode denied communication with namenode because hostname cannot be resolved” and “Unresolved datanode registration.” Then trace how the operator configures DataNode and NameNode registration, including dfs.namenode.datanode.registration.ip-hostname-check. Done means identifying the cause and verifying a registration fix or documenting why the setting is relevant.

Description

customer-request

We've seen one instance where a DataNode is not allowed to register with the NameNode.
We see this error in the logs:

Datanode denied communication with namenode because hostname cannot be resolved

And the NameNode logs:

Unresolved datanode registration

Setting dfs.namenode.datanode.registration.ip-hostname-check to false might help but we're not sure.
We have not been able to find the source for this issue yet.
