The full JDK which will be placed in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun (well, this directory is actually a symlink on
Ubuntu).
After installation, make a quick check whether Sun’s JDK is correctly set up:
user@ubuntu:~# java -version
java version "1.6.0_20"

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 16.3-b01, mixed mode, sharing)
Adding dedicated Hadoop user
We will use a dedicated Hadoop user account for running Hadoop. While that’s not required it is recommended because it
helps to separate the Hadoop installation from other software applications and user accounts running on the same
machine (think: security, permissions, backups, etc).
This will add the user hduser and the group hadoop to your local machine.
Configuring SSH
Hadoop requires SSH access to manage its nodes, i.e. remote machines plus your local machine if you want to use Hadoop
on it (which is what we want to do in this short tutorial). For our single-node setup of Hadoop, we therefore need to
configure SSH access to localhost for the hduser user we created in the previous section.
I assume that you have SSH up and running on your machine and configured it to allow SSH public key authentication. If
not, there are several online guides available.
First, we have to generate an SSH key for the hduser user.
user@ubuntu:~$ su - hduser
hduser@ubuntu:~$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -P ""
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/hduser/.ssh/id_rsa):
Created directory '/home/hduser/.ssh'.
Your identification has been saved in /home/hduser/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /home/hduser/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
9b:82:ea:58:b4:e0:35:d7:ff:19:66:a6:ef:ae:0e:d2 hduser@ubuntu
The key's randomart image is:
[...snipp...]
hduser@ubuntu:~$
The second line will create an RSA key pair with an empty password. Generally, using an empty password is not
recommended, but in this case it is needed to unlock the key without your interaction (you don’t want to enter
the passphrase every time Hadoop interacts with its nodes).
Second, you have to enable SSH access to your local machine with this newly created key.
The final step is to test the SSH setup by connecting to your local machine with the hduser user. The step is
also needed to save your local machine’s host key fingerprint to the hduser user’s known_hosts file. If you
have any special SSH configuration for your local machine like a non-standard SSH port, you can define host-specific
SSH options in $HOME/.ssh/config (see man ssh_config for more information).
123456789
hduser@ubuntu:~$ ssh localhost
The authenticity of host 'localhost (::1)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is d7:87:25:47:ae:02:00:eb:1d:75:4f:bb:44:f9:36:26.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'localhost' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
Linux ubuntu 2.6.32-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 28 13:27:30 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
[...snipp...]
hduser@ubuntu:~$
If the SSH connect should fail, these general tips might help:
Enable debugging with ssh -vvv localhost and investigate the error in detail.
Check the SSH server configuration in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, in particular the options PubkeyAuthentication
(which should be set to yes) and AllowUsers (if this option is active, add the hduser user to it). If you
made any changes to the SSH server configuration file, you can force a configuration reload with
sudo /etc/init.d/ssh reload.
Disabling IPv6
One problem with IPv6 on Ubuntu is that using 0.0.0.0 for the various networking-related Hadoop configuration
options will result in Hadoop binding to the IPv6 addresses of my Ubuntu box. In my case, I realized that there’s
no practical point in enabling IPv6 on a box when you are not connected to any IPv6 network. Hence, I simply
disabled IPv6 on my Ubuntu machine. Your mileage may vary.
To disable IPv6 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, open /etc/sysctl.conf in the editor of your choice and add the following
lines to the end of the file:
You have to reboot your machine in order to make the changes take effect.
You can check whether IPv6 is enabled on your machine with the following command:
1
$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6
A return value of 0 means IPv6 is enabled, a value of 1 means disabled (that’s what we want).
Alternative
You can also disable IPv6 only for Hadoop as documented in
HADOOP-3437. You can do so by adding the following line to
conf/hadoop-env.sh:
Download Hadoop from the
Apache Download Mirrors and extract the contents of the Hadoop
package to a location of your choice. I picked /usr/local/hadoop. Make sure to change the owner of all the
files to the hduser user and hadoop group, for example:
1234
$ cd /usr/local
$ sudo tar xzf hadoop-1.0.3.tar.gz
$ sudo mv hadoop-1.0.3 hadoop
$ sudo chown -R hduser:hadoop hadoop
(Just to give you the idea, YMMV – personally, I create a symlink from hadoop-1.0.3 to hadoop.)
Update $HOME/.bashrc
Add the following lines to the end of the $HOME/.bashrc file of user hduser. If you use a shell other than
bash, you should of course update its appropriate configuration files instead of .bashrc.
$HOME/.bashrc
123456789101112131415161718192021222324252627
# Set Hadoop-related environment variablesexport HADOOP_HOME=/usr/local/hadoop
# Set JAVA_HOME (we will also configure JAVA_HOME directly for Hadoop later on)export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
# Some convenient aliases and functions for running Hadoop-related commandsunalias fs &> /dev/null
alias fs="hadoop fs"unalias hls &> /dev/null
alias hls="fs -ls"# If you have LZO compression enabled in your Hadoop cluster and# compress job outputs with LZOP (not covered in this tutorial):# Conveniently inspect an LZOP compressed file from the command# line; run via:## $ lzohead /hdfs/path/to/lzop/compressed/file.lzo## Requires installed 'lzop' command.#lzohead (){ hadoop fs -cat $1 | lzop -dc | head -1000 | less
}# Add Hadoop bin/ directory to PATHexport PATH=$PATH:$HADOOP_HOME/bin
You can repeat this exercise also for other users who want to use Hadoop.
Excursus: Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS)
Before we continue let us briefly learn a bit more about Hadoop’s distributed file system.
The Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) is a
distributed file system designed to run on commodity hardware. It has
many similarities with existing distributed file systems. However, the
differences from other distributed file systems are significant. HDFS is
highly fault-tolerant and is designed to be deployed on low-cost
hardware. HDFS provides high throughput access to application data and
is suitable for applications that have large data sets. HDFS relaxes a
few POSIX requirements to enable streaming access to file system data.
HDFS was originally built as infrastructure for the Apache Nutch web
search engine project. HDFS is part of the Apache Hadoop project, which
is part of the Apache Lucene project.
The following picture gives an overview of the most important HDFS components.
Configuration
Our goal in this tutorial is a single-node setup of Hadoop. More information of what we do in this section is available on the Hadoop Wiki.
hadoop-env.sh
The only required environment variable we have to configure for Hadoop in this tutorial is JAVA_HOME. Open
conf/hadoop-env.sh in the editor of your choice (if you used the installation path in this tutorial, the full path
is /usr/local/hadoop/conf/hadoop-env.sh) and set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the Sun JDK/JRE 6
directory.
Change
conf/hadoop-env.sh
12
# The java implementation to use. Required.# export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun
to
conf/hadoop-env.sh
12
# The java implementation to use. Required.export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
Note: If you are on a Mac with OS X 10.7 you can use the following line to set up JAVA_HOME in conf/hadoop-env.sh.
conf/hadoop-env.sh (on Mac systems)
12
# for our Mac usersexport JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home`
conf/*-site.xml
In this section, we will configure the directory where Hadoop will store its data files, the network ports it listens
to, etc. Our setup will use Hadoop’s Distributed File System,
HDFS, even though our little “cluster” only contains our
single local machine.
You can leave the settings below “as is” with the exception of the hadoop.tmp.dir parameter – this parameter you
must change to a directory of your choice. We will use the directory /app/hadoop/tmp in this tutorial. Hadoop’s
default configurations use hadoop.tmp.dir as the base temporary directory both for the local file system and HDFS,
so don’t be surprised if you see Hadoop creating the specified directory automatically on HDFS at some later point.
Now we create the directory and set the required ownerships and permissions:
1234
$ sudo mkdir -p /app/hadoop/tmp
$ sudo chown hduser:hadoop /app/hadoop/tmp
# ...and if you want to tighten up security, chmod from 755 to 750...
$ sudo chmod 750 /app/hadoop/tmp
If you forget to set the required ownerships and permissions, you will see a java.io.IOException when you try to
format the name node in the next section).
Add the following snippets between the <configuration> ... </configuration> tags in the respective configuration
XML file.
In file conf/core-site.xml:
conf/core-site.xml
123456789101112131415

</description></property>
The first step to starting up your Hadoop installation is formatting the Hadoop filesystem which is implemented on top
of the local filesystem of your “cluster” (which includes only your local machine if you followed this tutorial). You
need to do this the first time you set up a Hadoop cluster.
Do not format a running Hadoop filesystem as you will lose all the data currently in the cluster (in HDFS)!
To format the filesystem (which simply initializes the directory specified by the dfs.name.dir variable), run the
command
This will startup a Namenode, Datanode, Jobtracker and a Tasktracker on your machine.
The output will look like this:
1234567
hduser@ubuntu:/usr/local/hadoop$ bin/start-all.sh
starting namenode, logging to /usr/local/hadoop/bin/../logs/hadoop-hduser-namenode-ubuntu.out
localhost: starting datanode, logging to /usr/local/hadoop/bin/../logs/hadoop-hduser-datanode-ubuntu.out
localhost: starting secondarynamenode, logging to /usr/local/hadoop/bin/../logs/hadoop-hduser-secondarynamenode-ubuntu.out
starting jobtracker, logging to /usr/local/hadoop/bin/../logs/hadoop-hduser-jobtracker-ubuntu.out
localhost: starting tasktracker, logging to /usr/local/hadoop/bin/../logs/hadoop-hduser-tasktracker-ubuntu.out
hduser@ubuntu:/usr/local/hadoop$
A nifty tool for checking whether the expected Hadoop processes are running is jps (part of Sun’s Java since
v1.5.0). See also How to debug MapReduce programs.
We will now run your first Hadoop MapReduce job. We will use the
WordCount example job which reads text files and counts how often words
occur. The input is text files and the output is text files, each line of which contains a word and the count of how
often it occurred, separated by a tab. More information of
what happens behind the scenes is available at the
Hadoop Wiki.
Download example input data
We will use three ebooks from Project Gutenberg for this example:
Download each ebook as text files in Plain Text UTF-8 encoding and store the files in a local temporary directory
of choice, for example /tmp/gutenberg.
123456
hduser@ubuntu:~$ ls -l /tmp/gutenberg/
total 3604
-rw-r--r-- 1 hduser hadoop 674566 Feb 3 10:17 pg20417.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 hduser hadoop 1573112 Feb 3 10:18 pg4300.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 hduser hadoop 1423801 Feb 3 10:18 pg5000.txt
hduser@ubuntu:~$
Restart the Hadoop cluster
Restart your Hadoop cluster if it’s not running already.
hduser@ubuntu:/usr/local/hadoop$ bin/hadoop jar hadoop*examples*.jar wordcount /user/hduser/gutenberg /user/hduser/gutenberg-output
This command will read all the files in the HDFS directory /user/hduser/gutenberg, process it, and store the result
in the HDFS directory /user/hduser/gutenberg-output.
Note: Some people run the command above and get the following error message:
Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Error opening job jar: hadoop*examples*.jar
at org.apache.hadoop.util.RunJar.main (RunJar.java: 90)
Caused by: java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file
In this case, re-run the command with the full name of the Hadoop Examples JAR file, for example:
hduser@ubuntu:/usr/local/hadoop$ bin/hadoop jar hadoop-examples-1.0.3.jar wordcount /user/hduser/gutenberg /user/hduser/gutenberg-output

Check if the result is successfully stored in HDFS directory /user/hduser/gutenberg-output:
If you want to modify some Hadoop settings on the fly like increasing the number of Reduce tasks, you can use the "-D" option:
1
hduser@ubuntu:/usr/local/hadoop$ bin/hadoop jar hadoop*examples*.jar wordcount -D mapred.reduce.tasks=16 /user/hduser/gutenberg /user/hduser/gutenberg-output
An important note about mapred.map.tasks: Hadoop does not honor mapred.map.tasks beyond considering it a hint. But it accepts the user specified mapred.reduce.tasks and doesn’t manipulate that. You cannot force mapred.map.tasks but you can specify mapred.reduce.tasks.
Retrieve the job result from HDFS
To inspect the file, you can copy it from HDFS to the local file system. Alternatively, you can use the command
to read the file directly from HDFS without copying it to the local file system. In this tutorial, we will copy the
results to the local file system though.
Note that in this specific output the quote signs (“) enclosing the words in the head output above have not been
inserted by Hadoop. They are the result of the word tokenizer used in the WordCount example, and in this case they
matched the beginning of a quote in the ebook texts. Just inspect the part-00000 file further to see it for
yourself.
The command fs -getmerge will simply concatenate
any files it finds in the directory you specify. This means that the
merged file might (and most likely will) not be sorted.
Hadoop Web Interfaces
Hadoop comes with several web interfaces which are by default (see conf/hadoop-default.xml) available at these
locations:
These web interfaces provide concise information about what’s happening in your Hadoop cluster. You might want to give
them a try.
NameNode Web Interface (HDFS layer)
The name node web UI shows you a cluster summary including information about total/remaining capacity, live and dead
nodes. Additionally, it allows you to browse the HDFS namespace and view the contents of its files in the web
browser. It also gives access to the local machine’s Hadoop log files.
By default, it’s available at http://localhost:50070/.
JobTracker Web Interface (MapReduce layer)
The JobTracker web UI provides information about general job statistics of the Hadoop cluster, running/completed/failed
jobs and a job history log file. It also gives access to the ‘‘local machine’s’’ Hadoop log files (the machine on which
the web UI is running on).
By default, it’s available at http://localhost:50030/.
TaskTracker Web Interface (MapReduce layer)
The task tracker web UI shows you running and non-running tasks. It
also gives access to the ‘‘local machine’s’’ Hadoop log files.
By default, it’s available at http://localhost:50060/.
