Setting up a Hadoop cluster - Part 1: Manual Installation

• ojilles 16y ago
  Very elaborate description, definitely has upside over any other installation documentation that I've come across up till now. Esp. the elaboration as to all difference configuration options.

    Thank you very much. I'm the author and if you have any questions or suggestions on how to improve it let me know. We'll also update our cluster to the latest CDH version in the coming weeks or months and I'll update the post and follow up.

  Wish I had found this a couple of days ago. I was trying to set up a quick test hadoop cluster on EC2 and it was a config nightmare. After many hours of dead ends I finally got Apache Whirr to set me up a cluster, but I never did manage to connect to it. Seems like the documentation for nearly everything Hadoop related is 2 or 3 versions out of date or missing key details.
