Hadoop

Trying to find simple and authorative documentation for Hadoop is harder than I expected. With the many versions out there it is easy to find documentation for the wrong version and not being able to find what really needs to be done.

Versions:

Hadoop 2.6.3
OpenJDK 1.8.0_66
Fedora 23

I installed the generic Hadoop package from Apache on Fedora in the /opt/hadoop directory and configured it.

Configuration files (/opt/hadoop/etc/hadoop/) and their content:

mapred-site.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
 <configuration>
        <property>
                <name>mapreduce.framework.name</name>
                <value>yarn</value>
        </property>
</configuration>

yarn-site.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
  <property>
    <name>yarn.nodemanager.aux-services</name>
    <value>mapreduce_shuffle</value>
  </property>
  <property>
    <name>yarn.resourcemanager.address</name>
    <value>127.0.0.1:8032</value>
  </property>
  <property>
    <name>yarn.resourcemanager.scheduler.address</name>
    <value>127.0.0.1:8030</value>
  </property>
  <property>
    <name>yarn.resourcemanager.resource-tracker.address</name>
    <value>127.0.0.1:8031</value>
  </property>
</configuration>

core-site.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?>
<configuration>
  <property>
    <name>fs.default.name</name>
    <value>hdfs://localhost:9000</value>
  </property>
</configuration>

hdfs-site.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?><configuration>
  <property>
    <name>dfs.replication</name>
    <value>1</value>
  </property>
  <property>
    <name>dfs.name.dir</name>
    <value>file:///data/namenode</value>
  </property>
  <property>
    <name>dfs.data.dir</name>
    <value>file:///data/datanode</value>
  </property>
</configuration>

In the hadoop-env.sh file I changed one line:
