Unable to start resource manager in yarn

Question

I am getting the following error while starting the yarn cluster even after formatting the namenode.

Please suggest how to fix this.

could you post your yarn-site.xml? – Yosser Abdellatif Goupil Feb 11 '15 at 14:57 — Yosser Abdellatif Goupil, Feb 11 '15 at 14:57

Your yarn class-path might contain corrupted jars. Try executing

yarn version

It should display "This command was run using {PATH_TO}/hadoop-common-{hadoop_version}.jar"

If it displayed a different jar other than the hadoop-common.jar, then you might have to remove it from the yarn class-path
