Map Reduce jobs, when they are failing (and the Hadoop commands are working), there may be an error like this:

2021-01-01 22:47:42,337 INFO mapreduce.Job: Task Id : attempt_1609558624072_0001_m_000003_1,

What Does the “^” Operator in Python Do?

0 Comments

Problem scenario
In Python you try operations like these two:

5 ^ 6
9 ^ 10

Both return “3”. Why is this?

Solution
The exclusive or (aka XOR) symbol “^” “copies the bit if it is set in one operand but not both.” (Taken from https://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_basic_operators.htm)

Here are some integers with their binary representation one space away:

3 11

5 101
6 110

9 1001
10 1010

5 is represented as 101.

How Do You Connect over Port 5986 on a Windows Server?

0 Comments

Problem scenario
Port 5986 is blocked from your Linux server to your Windows server. You have used the nmap command and see that it is filtered. You believe there are no intermediate firewalls or OS firewalls blocking this port. What should you do?

Solution
This assumes you have no firewall blocking port 5986 for incoming connections to the Windows server. nmap will report 5986 is filtered despite there being nothing blocking this port if wsman’s listener has not been properly configured.*

  1. Run this script on the Windows server:

$hostName = $env:COMPUTERNAME
$serverCert = New-SelfSignedCertificate -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My -DnsName $hostName
Export-Certificate -Cert $serverCert -FilePath c:\vagrant\PsRemoting-Cert1.cer
Get-ChildItem c:\vagrant\PsRemoting-Cert1.cer
Enable-PSRemoting -Force
New-Item -Path WSMan:\localhost\Listener\ -Transport HTTPS -Address * -CertificateThumbPrint $serverCert.Thumbprint -Force

  1. That is it.

0 Comments

Problem scenario
You run an AWS CLI command, but you get this error message:
“An error occurred (InvalidParameterException) when calling the CreateCluster operation: Subnets specified must be in at least two different AZs”
How do you find subnets in different availability zones?

Solution
Run commands such as these (but replace the “us-west-x” and “us-east-x” with the availability zones that you use):

aws ec2 describe-subnets –query ‘Subnets[?AvailabilityZone==us-west-1a]’
aws ec2 describe-subnets –query ‘Subnets[?AvailabilityZone==us-west-1b]’
aws ec2 describe-subnets –query ‘Subnets[?AvailabilityZone==us-west-1c]’
aws ec2 describe-subnets –query ‘Subnets[?AvailabilityZone==us-east-2a]’
aws ec2 describe-subnets –query ‘Subnets[?AvailabilityZone==us-east-2b]’
aws ec2 describe-subnets –query ‘Subnets[?AvailabilityZone==us-east-2c]’

Now you will see more subnet IDs for your original command.
