Install and configurate Hadoop 1.1.1 on OS X

As homework of the Hadoop workshop, I keep it as a note here.

 

Hadoop install steps:

$ sudo cp ~/Downloads/hadoop-1.1.1.tar.gz ~/dev/hadoop-1.1.1.tar.gz
$ sudo tar -xvzf hadoop-1.1.1.tar.gz

 

Env variable setup:

cat - >> ~/.zshrc
export HADOOP_HOME_WARN_SUPPRESS=1
export HADOOP_OPTS="-Djava.security.krb5.realm=OX.AC.UK -Djava.security.krb5.kdc=kdc0.ox.ac.uk:kdc1.ox.ac.uk"
export HADOOP_HOME="/Users/gsun/dev/hadoop-1.1.1"
export PATH=$PATH:$HADOOP_HOME/bin:$HADOOP_HOME/sbin

 

Press Ctrl-D to exit.

 

 

Also as an alternative, you can install Hadoop thru HomeBrew. Here is the instruction of how to install HomeBrew, it's really awesome. https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/installation

First, view detailed information of Hadoop version in HomeBrew repository:

# gsun at MacBookPro in ~/prog/hadoop/hadoop-guide on git:master o [18:26:25]
$ brew info hadoop
hadoop: stable 1.1.2
http://hadoop.apache.org/
Not installed
From: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/commits/master/Library/Formula/hadoop.rb
==> Caveats
In Hadoop's config file:
  /usr/local/Cellar/hadoop/1.1.2/libexec/conf/hadoop-env.sh
$JAVA_HOME has been set to be the output of:
  /usr/libexec/java_home

 Then install:

brew install hadoop 

 

 

Hadoop env setup:

As you may already knew, we can configure and use Hadoop in three modes. These modes are:

 

1. Standalone mode

This mode is the default mode that you get when you’re downloading and extracting Hadoop for the first time. In this mode, Hadoop didn’t utilize HDFS to store input and output files. Hadoop just use local filesystem in its process. This mode is very useful for debugging your MapReduce code before you deploy it on large cluster and handle huge amounts of data. In this mode, the Hadoop’s configuration file triplet (mapred-site.xml, core-site.xml, hdfs-site.xml) still free from custom configuration.

 

2. Pseudo distributed mode (or single node cluster)

In this mode, we configure the configuration triplet to run on a single cluster. The replication factor of HDFS is one, because we only use one node as Master Node, Data Node, Job Tracker, and Task Tracker. We can use this mode to test our code in the real HDFS without the complexity of fully distributed cluster. I’ve already covered the configuration process on my previous post.

 

3. Fully distributed mode (or multiple node cluster)

In this mode, we use Hadoop at its full scale. We can use cluster consists of a thousand nodes working together. This is the production phase, where your code and data are used and distributed across many nodes. You use this mode when your code is ready and work properly on the previous mode.

 

So how could we switching among the three mode, here's trick. We will separate the Hadoop’s configuration directory (conf/) for each mode. Let’s assume that you just extracted your Hadoop distribution and haven’t made any changes on the configuration triplet. In the terminal, write these commands:

# gsun at MacBookPro in ~ [18:38:57]
$ cd $HADOOP_HOME

# gsun at MacBookPro in ~/dev/hadoop-1.1.1 [18:39:05]
$ cp -R conf conf.standalone

# gsun at MacBookPro in ~/dev/hadoop-1.1.1 [18:39:32]
$ cp -R conf conf.pseudo

# gsun at MacBookPro in ~/dev/hadoop-1.1.1 [18:40:00]
$ cp -R conf conf.distributed

# gsun at MacBookPro in ~/dev/hadoop-1.1.1 [18:40:22]
$ rm -R conf

 

 

Now if you want to switch to pseudo mode, do this:

# gsun at MacBookPro in ~/dev/hadoop-1.1.1 [18:40:53]
$ ln -s conf.pseudo conf

 

 

Configurate hadoop as pseudo distribution, you have to edit Hadoop's configuration file triplet: (mapred-site-xml, core-site.xml and hdfs-site.xml).

 

1. mapred-site.xml

 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?>

<!-- Put site-specific property overrides in this file. -->

<configuration>
	<property>
		<name>mapred.job.tracker</name>
		<value>localhost:8021</value>
	</property>

	<property>
		<name>mapred.child.env</name>
		<value>JAVA_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/gsun/dev/hadoop-1.1.1/lib/native</value>
	</property>
	
	<property>
		<name>mapred.map.output.compression.codec</name>
		<value>com.hadoop.compression.lzo.LzoCodec</value>
	</property>
</configuration>

 2. core-site.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?>

<!-- Put site-specific property overrides in this file. -->

<configuration>
	<property>
		<name>fs.default.name</name>
		<value>hdfs://localhost</value>
	</property>

	<property>
		<name>hadoop.tmp.dir</name>
		<value>/Volumes/MacintoshHD/Users/puff/prog/hadoop/hadoop-data</value>
		<description>A base for other temporary directories.</description>
	</property>

  	<property>
  		<name>io.file.buffer.size</name>
  		<value>131072</value>
  	</property>
</configuration>

 

 

 3.hdfs-site.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?>

<!-- Put site-specific property overrides in this file. -->

<configuration>
	<property>
		<name>dfs.replication</name>
		<value>1</value>
	</property>
	<property>
    	<name>dfs.permissions</name>
    	<value>false</value>
  	</property>
</configuration>

 

 

Now try hadoop in your terminal:

# gsun at MacBookPro in ~/dev/hadoop-1.1.1 [18:50:24]
$ hadoop
Usage: hadoop [--config confdir] COMMAND
