This demonstrates single node Haddop cluster using the Cloudera Virtual Machine. Cloudera has packages Hadoop installation, Cloudera manager in a quickstart virtual machine so people can learn it in without hassels of installing and dealing with different OS systems.

Downloads

Download VirtualBox, a virtualization software package, according to the operating system on your host machine https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Download the Cloudera QUickstart Virtual Machine (VM) http://www.cloudera.com/content/dev-center/en/home/developer-admin-resources/quickstart-vm.html

Import and start the VM

In VirtualBox Manager, click File->Import Appliance Then input the file path of Cloudera VM in the prompt window. Import the Cloudera VM.

After importing, in VirtualBox Manager, start the VM by right clicking and clicking "start"

Compile wordcount.jar

Now we are in the VM. Open a terminal

#print working diretory, to check the current working directory[cloudera@localhost ~]$ pwd/home/cloudera#if not, change to this directory by doing[cloudera@localhost ~]$ cd /home/cloudera/#note the machine's name is called localhost, which is what we want. It would be problematic if it appears in other names.

First, open the gedit text editor, copy and paste the Java program herehttps://www.cloudera.com/content/cloudera-content/cloudera-docs/HadoopTutorial/CDH4/Hadoop-Tutorial/ht_wordcount1_source.html to gedit, and then save the file to /home/cloudera/WordCount.java

#export CLASSPATH[cloudera@localhost ~]$ export CLASSPATH=/usr/lib/hadoop/client-0.20/\*:/usr/lib/hadoop/\*#display the value of CLASSPATH[cloudera@localhost ~]$ echo $CLASSPATH/usr/lib/hadoop/client-0.20/*:/usr/lib/hadoop/*#make a directory to store the to-be-compiled class[cloudera@localhost ~]$ mkdir wordcount_classes#compile the class, save it to the wordcount_classes directory[cloudera@localhost ~]$ javac -d wordcount_classes/ WordCount.java#make the .jar file, which is to be used for directing word count job in Hadoop[cloudera@localhost ~]$ jar -cvf wordcount.jar -C wordcount_classes/ .added manifestadding: org/(in = 0) (out= 0)(stored 0%)adding: org/myorg/(in = 0) (out= 0)(stored 0%)adding: org/myorg/WordCount.class(in = 1546) (out= 749)(deflated 51%)adding: org/myorg/WordCount$Map.class(in = 1938) (out= 798)(deflated 58%)adding: org/myorg/WordCount$Reduce.class(in = 1611) (out= 649)(deflated 59%)#list files in the current directory. Now you should see the wordcount.jar file listed there.[cloudera@localhost ~]$ ls
Put some files on HDFS

This is a word frequency count job, and we will have some text files from which words will be counted. We make some short text files here in the current directory, and then put them in Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). The text files need to be on HDFS to run a Hadoop job.

#create a text file with content "Hello World Bye World" and save to file0[cloudera@localhost ~]$ echo "Hello World Bye World" >file0#create a text file with content "Hello Hadoop Bye Hadoop" and save to file1[cloudera@localhost ~]$ echo "Hello Hadoop Bye Hadoop" >file1#make a new directory "wordcount" in HDFS under the /user/cloudera/[cloudera@localhost ~]$ hadoop fs -mkdir /user/cloudera/wordcount#make a new directory on HDFS now that we have the /user/cloudera/wordcount directory[cloudera@localhost ~]$ hadoop fs -mkdir /user/cloudera/wordcount/input#put file0 to HDFS directory /user/cloudera/wordcount/input[cloudera@localhost ~]$ hadoop fs -put file0 /user/cloudera/wordcount/input#put file1 to HDFS directory /user/cloudera/wordcount/input[cloudera@localhost ~]$ hadoop fs -put file1 /user/cloudera/wordcount/input
Run the Hadoop job

In the terminal, run a Hadoop job, need to supply the .jar file, main class, input folder path on HDFS, output folder path on HDFS.

Important: the output folder cannot be an existing folder in HDFS, it will cause error if that's the case. Hadoop will create this folder during the run for you. Make sure the specified output folder does not exist on HDFS, and if so, delete it.
