I am trying to run the SimpleShortestPathsVertex (aka SimpleShortestPathComputation) example described in the Giraph Quick Start. I am running this on a Hortonworks Sandbox instance (HDP 2.1) using VirtualBox, and I packaged giraph.jar using profile hadoop_2.0.0.

When I try to run the example using

hadoop jar giraph.jar org.apache.giraph.GiraphRunner 
org.apache.giraph.examples.SimpleShortestPathsVertex -vif 
org.apache.giraph.io.formats.JsonLongDoubleFloatDoubleVertexInputFormat -vip 
/user/hue/tinygraph.txt -of org.apache.giraph.io.formats.IdWithValueTextOutputFormat 
-op /user/hue/output/shortestpaths -w 1

I get the following exception

2014-04-30 07:22:15,390 INFO [main] org.apache.giraph.zk.ZooKeeperManager: onlineZooKeeperServers: Connect attempt 0 of 10 max trying to connect to sandbox.hortonworks.com:22181 with poll msecs = 3000

I have found a work around - it seems that Giraph expects ZooKeeper to be running on port 22181, while it is actually running on 2181. I have simply used the Ambari interface to set ZooKeeper to run on 22181 (go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/, login admin/admin, Services tab, ZooKeeper and change the port to 22181, save and Service Actions -> Restart All.

Does anyone have a better solution for this problem? Is there a config via which the port should be specified, or is this port in the Giraph source code a typo?

Yes, you can specify each time you run a Giraph job via using option -Dgiraph.zkList=localhost:2181

Also you can set it up in Hadoop configs and then you don't have to pass on this option each time you submit a Giraph job. For that add the following line in conf/core-site.xml file :

<property><name>giraph.zkList</name><value>localhost:2181</value></property>

[Please check the syntax, I don't recall it on top my head and currently I don't have access to a cluster to check it]
