HADOOP - Installation setup

Prerequisites

Hadoop requires a working Java 1.5+ (aka Java 5) installation. However, using Java 1.6/1.7 (aka Java 6/7) is recommended for running Hadoop. Please refer to jdk installation instructions here.

Dedicated user for Hadoop system

A dedicated Hadoop user will help Hadoop installation from other software applications and user accounts running on the same machine.

 
umasarath@ubuntu:~$ sudo addgroup hadoop
umasarath@ubuntu:~$ sudo adduser --ingroup hadoop hduser
The above two commands will add "hduser" user and "hadoop" group.

Hadoop Installation

Download Hadoop from the Apache Download Mirrors and extract the contents of the Hadoop package to a location of your choice. The folder I chosen was the hduser home folder. Extract the downloaded file in /home/hduser folder and make sure the file should be extracted in hduser login.

 
hduser@ubuntu:~$ sudo tar xzf hadoop-1.2.1.tar.gz
hduser@ubuntu:~$ sudo mv hadoop-1.2.1 hadoop


Configuration of Hadoop

Once the Hadoop installation is completed, Hadoop environment file should be configured with Java by adding the Java path to its file. File modifications are done as shown below.


hduser@ubuntu:~$ cd hadoop/conf
hduser@ubuntu:~$ vi hadoop-env.sh
# The java implementation to use.  Add the below line to the existing file.
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/


Now Hadoop installation and configuration was done!

Let’s run it without any arguments to see its usage documentation.
hduser@ubuntu:~$ cd hadoop
hduser@ubuntu:/home/hduser/hadoop$ bin/hadoop
Usage: hadoop [--config confdir] COMMAND
where COMMAND is one of:
namenode -format  format the DFS filesystem
secondarynamenode  run the DFS secondary namenode
namenode   run the DFS namenode
datanode   run a DFS datanode
dfsadmin   run a DFS admin client
fsck    run a DFS filesystem checking utility
fs    run a generic filesystem user client
balancer   run a cluster balancing utility
jobtracker   run the MapReduce job Tracker node
pipes    run a Pipes job
tasktracker   run a MapReduce task Tracker node
job    manipulate MapReduce jobs
version   print the version
jar <jar>   run a jar file
distcp <srcurl> <desturl> copy file or directories recursively
archive -archiveName NAME <src>* <dest> create a hadoop archive
daemonlog   get/set the log level for each daemon
or
CLASSNAME   run the class named CLASSNAME
Most commands print help when invoked w/o parameters.

 Bingo! Your installation setup is done. Now you are ready for running your first example program in Hadoop.

RSYNC command without authentication - 8 simple steps

Initially, when i try to sync the files from remotehost to localhost, i have to execute manually by executing in command prompt. I thought of executing the command by shell script and then call this script from cronjob. When i do this, the script was asking for authentication which is seems no difference between manual effort and an automated one. In order to avoid this, the following steps will explain how to perform RSYNC from localhost to remote host without entering password. umasarath@localhost:~$ rsync -v umasarath@remotehost:/home/umasarath/test/* test/ umasarath@remotehost's password: test11.txt umasarath.txt sent 61 bytes received 144 bytes 82.00 bytes/sec total size is 18 speedup is 0.09 umasarath@localhost:~$ Verify that localhost and remotehost is running openSSH umasarath@local:~$ ssh -V OpenSSH_5.3p1 Debian-3ubuntu7, OpenSSL 0.9.8k 25 Mar 2009 umasarath@remote:~$ ssh -V OpenSSH_5.3p1 Debian-3ubuntu7, OpenSSL 0.9.8k 25 Mar 2009 Generate key-pair on the lo...

The javax.servlet Package

The javax.servlet package contains a number of interfaces and classes that establish the framework in which servlets operate. The most significant of these is Servlet. All servlets must implement this interface or extend a class that implements the interface Interface Description Servlet Declares life cycle methods for a servlet. ServletConfig Allows servlets to get initialization parameters ServletContext Enables servlets to log events and access information about their environment. ServletRequest Used to read data from a client request. ServletResponse Used to write data to a client response. The following table summarizes the core classes that are provided in the javax.servlet package: Class Description GenericServlet Implements the Servlet and ServletConfig interfaces. ServletInputStream Provides an input stream for reading requests from a client. ...
