Question:
Cygnus can not persist data on Cosmos global instance

Description:
When trying to persist an entity from Cygnus to Cosmos global instance it fails.

Looking at the log file I see something like that:

2015 15:31:50,006 DEBUG [SinkRunner-PollingRunner-DefaultSinkProcessor] (org.apache.http.impl.conn.DefaultClientConnection.sendRequestHeader:273) - >> GET /webhdfs/v1/user/ms/def_serv/def_servpath/6_registervalues/6_registervalues.txt?op=getfilestatus&user.name=ms HTTP/1.1

(I have obfuscated the token in the example above.)

for some reason the connection is closed.

Orion and Cygnus are installed on a fiware lab private instance in Spain2.

When trying to fire the same request from the command line from the Orion machine, I get the same disconnected response.

curl -X GET "http://cosmos.lab.fiware.org:14000/webhdfs/v1/user/ms/def_serv/def_servpath/6_registervalues/6_registervalues.txt?op=getfilestatus&user.name=ms" -H "X-Auth-Token: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
curl: (56) Failure when receiving data from the peer

But surprisingly, when doing the same request from the command line from the Cosmos global instance, it works!

See:

[ms@cosmosmaster-gi ~]$ curl -X GET "http://cosmos.lab.fiware.org:14000/webhdfs/v1/user/ms/def_serv/def_servpath/6_registervalues/6_registervalues.txt?op=getfilestatus&user.name=ms" -H "X-Auth-Token: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
{"FileStatus":{"pathSuffix":"","type":"FILE","length":2,"owner":"ms","group":"ms","permission":"644","accessTime":1447332222908,"modificationTime":1447253745711,"blockSize":67108864,"replication":3}}
[ms@cosmosmaster-gi ~]$

Seems like Cosmos will not service connection arriving from a fiware lab instance running on Spain2.

Does anyone knows what's the issue here, and how to correct this.

Thanks!
