Install Hadoop(Single node)

10 Sep 2015 #hadoop #bigdata #ubuntu

On a starting note :

I am assuming that you have a fresh Ubuntu install on your system as this will cut down a lot of frustration trying to debug why Hadoop is not running.

I am using nano as the text editor for this article but you can use any other text-editor like vi, sublime or atom for doing the same

Next article : Install Hadoop Multi Node 1.0.3 on Ubuntu 14.04.2

Installation

Create a dedicated user

Create a seperate user named hadoop for seperating out the configuration files and the installation files

sys8@sys8:~$ sudo adduser hadoop

You would be then prompted to add the new UNIX password and details

add this user to the sudoer’s group

sys8@sys8:~$ sudo adduser hadoop sudo

Switch to the newly created user

sys8@sys8:~$ su - hadoop

Install JAVA which is in the default repos of Ubuntu

hadoop@sys8:~$ sudo apt-get install default-jdk

Configure SSH:

Enabling ssh for localhost is the next step

Install openssh-server

hadoop@sys8:~$ sudo apt-get install openssh-server

Generate the keys

hadoop@sys8:~$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -P ""
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/hadoop/.ssh/id_rsa): 
Created directory '/home/hadoop/.ssh'.
Your identification has been saved in /home/hadoop/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /home/hadoop/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
68:b0:84:c0:3f:16:41:38:d9:7e:d6:63:a3:a0:28:f5 hadoop@sys8
The key's randomart image is:
+--[ RSA 2048]----+
|o =o.            |
| * +             |
|  = + .          |
|  .B = *         |
|..o.* = S        |
|o.  Eo           |
|.                |
|                 |
|                 |
+-----------------+
hadoop@sys8:~$ cat $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys

Copy the keys over to enable passwordless ssh

hadoop@sys8:~$ ssh-copy-id -i $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub hadoop@localhost
The authenticity of host 'localhost (127.0.0.1)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is 17:f4:fc:aa:88:4d:51:b1:08:ae:df:75:2f:07:37:26.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: attempting to log in with the new key(s), to filter out any that are already installed

/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: WARNING: All keys were skipped because they already exist on the remote system.

Test the ssh connection to the localhost

hadoop@sys8:~$ ssh hadoop@localhost
Welcome to Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.19.0-28-generic x86_64)

 * Documentation:  https://help.ubuntu.com/

60 packages can be updated.
24 updates are security updates.

hadoop@sys8:~$ exit
logout
Connection to localhost closed.

hadoop@sys8:~$

Apache Hadoop Installation:

Download hadoop from apache’s site,

But first change to hadoop’s home directory first

hadoop@sys8:~$ pwd
/home/hadoop
hadoop@sys8:~$ wget https://archive.apache.org/dist/hadoop/core/hadoop-1.2.1/hadoop-1.2.1.tar.gz

Extract and rename the file

hadoop@sys8:~$ sudo tar xzf hadoop-1.2.1.tar.gz
hadoop@sys8:~$ sudo mv hadoop-1.2.1 hadoop

Set the user permissions

hadoop@sys8:~$ sudo chown -R hadoop:hadoop hadoop

Configuration

Update /etc/profile 

hadoop@sys8:~$ sudo nano /etc/profile

Add the following lines at the end

NOTE :

This is assuming that you have installed the default-jdk from the repo’s. Change it accordingly for any other java version

export HADOOP_HOME="/home/hadoop/hadoop/"
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64"

unalias fs &> /dev/null
alias fs="hadoop fs"
unalias hls &> /dev/null
alias hls="fs -ls"

export PATH="$PATH:$HADOOP_HOME/bin"

Edit the configuration files for Hadoop

Edit hadoop-env.sh

Change to the hadoop folder and add the JAVA home path

hadoop@sys8:~$ cd ~/hadoop
hadoop@sys8:~/hadoop$ ls
bin        CHANGES.txt  docs                     hadoop-core-1.2.1.jar         hadoop-test-1.2.1.jar   ivy.xml  LICENSE.txt  sbin   webapps

hadoop@sys8:~/hadoop$ sudo nano conf/hadoop-env.sh

Add the following

# The java implementation to use.  Required.
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64"
export HADOOP_OPTS=-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

Note :

Added the second line so as to disable ipv6 specifically for hadoop and not for the whole system

###Create the tmp folder for Hadoop

hadoop@sys8:~/hadoop$ sudo mkdir -p /app/hadoop/tmp
### add the permissions
hadoop@sys8:~/hadoop$ sudo chown hadoop:hadoop /app/hadoop/tmp
hadoop@sys8:~/hadoop$ sudo chmod 750 /app/hadoop/tmp

Edit conf/core-site.xml 

hadoop@sys8:~/hadoop$ sudo nano conf/core-site.xml

You would be having blank spaces in between the tags

It should look something like this after editing

##Start the Single node

NOTE :

bin/start-all.sh is deprecated so we will use bin/start-dfs.sh and then bin/start-mapred.dfs

Check if everything is running fine:

Run jps for that and the output should look something like this

11868 Jps

That’s all Folks!
